Thanks for sharing. Scary how often the Accusump comes on and even withthat there’s a pressure drop. Seeing the pressure drop makes me not want too in fear of damaging the engine.

Yes the pressure still drops some at the standard valve cover location. However, it would drop more if I didn’t have the Accusump. Next season, I will turn it off for a single lap to compare. I also want to install a high flow racing oil filter to minimize pressure drop.

If you are running RComps or Slicks, you NEED oiling system mods to keep that M96 or M97 alive longer...though the only sure way is dry sump and I’ve been tinkering with some ideas there since I do have a complete engine sitting in my garage that needs some work...there has to be a lower cost way to do this.

I ran a Canton high flow billet filter last interval and I didn't notice any difference so I am back on a wix filter this time. The canton is also 4" tall, they sent the wrong one and by the time I went to install it it was too late to send it back.

My goal was to try and increase hot idle oil pressure and it did not, and oil pressures while driving seemed the same.

Steve, you read my mind!
I was looking at either Canton or LNE.
I currently use the Napa Gold 1042, probably the same as a Wix 50142.
The flow is rated at 11-12 GPM hot.
