David - A number of people I've spoken with who have used the Avaid wet sump pans, including racers back in the day like Sam Feinstein, have said their
oil pressure will drop to zero in hard cornering on the track with good tires like slicks. Consider that SA spend resources to develop the dry sump on the 427 cars back in the 60's for a good reason, when they didn't do it for the 289 (at least in the Cobra). There were a number of engine failures early on in the big block Cobra development, to the point where SA was delivering some higher profile track cars with a spare engine (like CSX3009). Granted, there are some other weaknesses in the engine that have tended to be rectified in modern builds, like rod bearing width, but nonetheless the dry sump was a primary development that resulted in problems being minimized and therefore would be a benefit to any of these engines that can suffer from intermittent loss of
oil pressure.
