Default Gald for filters

Superhart Gald there are filters in the system. The info picture shows the oil supply is coming from the drain plug hole. ESP needs to rethink there pictures on installation of the system. As far as Autocross and roadracing in a windsor motor the drains for oil return may be better than a FE motor. I run 10 quarts with a HP-HV oil pump and running a 280 degree off camber turn to the right and without the accusump, the engine was maybe 15-20 psi of pressure. You are pulling over 1 G in the sweeping turn, The oil is all staying in the top of the motor. I added the 3 quart accusump to stop this problem. My pickup is at 3/8" from bottom of a canton oil pan. This turn takes about 5-7 seconds to complete from start to exit. I have a warning light for low pressure, 15 psi. This turn is at Gateway in Ill. It is not a REAL road course like Watkin Glen, but tough on driver and car. Car also pulls a G+ going around turns 3 and 4 to the straight away. Again another oil drop in pressure. This is why there are dry sump systems. I am going to one on the next motor I build. The accusump is a cheap way to protect the motor at this time. Rick L
