WHY?

Is it a dry sump? If not, what pan is on it? No wet sump FE (either drag race or road race) should require more than 7 1/2-8 1/2 qts regardless of what Roush recommends.

Your system is over filled and its pushing it's way out. To say nothing of the drag on the reciprocating assembly. That'll limit your response and RPM.
