Thank for your response!

In my BMW racer we'd get a teaspoon per race/session... setting it up as I described and the BMW has what they call an air/oil separator, (that I removed), that seems to serve the same function as the AOS. So, if I do this in a 2.5 motor, how much might it "puke" per session and is there lost hp?

By the way in NASA GTS-2/3 most BMW's ran an after market pan baffle and 1 quart more oil... no dry sumps that I was aware of...
