I run T-stats on all our projects and even a heater on our race car to ensure it is up to temp during the critical start up time. This with a pre-oil or pressure system is the only way to protect $$$$ on an all out engine and feel every motor benifits from the therory. I build a accusump that has 3 functions. 1. primes system on start up. 2. turns on if system pressure drops below 25 PSI to keep above 25 no matter what and 3. if drops below 15 PSI it turns off Ignition and fuel pump while turning on a red dash light. There is a push button bypass to Start if no pressure avail. like on oil change and sump is empty.
I have been thinking about selling system as it is very effective and DOES WORK in all mentioned areas. You could all build it as just pressure sw's at different trip points and NC and NO. The expensive part is a custom ZERO leak solinoid ( my cost is 125.00) I had built to my specs but will sit for a month and still have full pressure on start up.
