Accusumps work great if you use the electric or manual valves. It's just 2 or 3 quarts of pressurized oil always available to feed the main bearings, pressurized by the oil pump. No lag, just pressurized oil. Stay away from the EPC set up where there is a pressure sensor that operates the solenoid...these have proven to be unreliable and can not deal with the wide range of oil pressures one sees on the track. The down side on this style is you need to remember to fill it EVERYTIME you turn the motor off and do it the same way each time so you can get consistent oil level readings.
