Default Aviaid

I looking for additional info regarding Aviaid's sump baffle and windage tray. If anyone is running this setup please chime in. I only found one setup that I'm sure will work or I should solve the oil starvation issues in the C6 Z06 the "A.R.E." but that's pretty much a race setup It's over kill for my driving style, wallet and warranty on visual inspection the other, Aviaid isn't a visual issue. I'd could throw in the LPE tank along with the Avaid and still be under the price of the A.R.E. setup. I'm looking for input TIA

After speaking with them, I bought it. I have not installed it yet, but you should call them, they have been doing dry sumps for 40 years and really know their stuff.

In speaking with the gent there, it made alot of sense to do the trap doors to keep the oil around the scavenge pickup to keep more oil in the tank. While a bigger tank is always a good idea, I did not get it, but got the baffle that keeeps the aeration down like what is in my Peterson dry sump tank in my other car. When I have the pan off, I will inspect the rod bearings after 23K miles and 40+ track days while using Royal Purple #21 oil, and maybe change the valve springs. I spin the motor tight, like 7K routinely because I do not want to shift then downshift into Loudon T1 and T6.

I just had my dealer install the LPE tank along with the Aviaid insert. Have not been to the track with it, yet, but forum member "66L72" has the same setup and been using it for a few track days at Mosport already.

I have just acquired several LPE tank lower halfs and AVIAD baffles for a couple of customer cars, makes nothing but good sense...

The 09 cars have different part#'s for the oil pan, but I have not looked to see what the differences are. Anyone know what the differences are ????

I may just jerk the one off of the 06 car and take a looksee..............
