accusump
I am thinking about installing one on my C6 that i track a lot..

Thanks in advance...

I need to lookup the part #
It's out back with the oil cooler, which has it's own fan, and an oversized filter.
Here's an earlier pic
I like Paul over @ theBowTieShop.com take care of install, SloRvette is his handle here.

Cool. I have one also.
What is the max pressure you are seeing while the sump bleeds out, but before starting the motor? Just curious.
My varies depending on whether the motor is hot or cold. Most likely due to increased clearances when hot.
Cold the most I have seen is 21.

Haven't had it to the track yet.
Still breaking in the clutch.
I start the engine when it hits 40psi.
I want to make sure it still has some in it when I fire it.

My 3 qt gets to about 30 before I start it. I flip the switch before I start and then turn it back off after motor has fired. Works pretty nice. Nice to know you have backup at the track.
