I run a Canton pan and an accusump and I have zero issues with oil pressure in braking zones or hard corners. I also use mine to prelube the engine before start via an electric valve. While I haven't had any issues with my Canton pan, I have heard more complaints recently. If I were shopping again I would look at a Kevco.

I've done a hill climb and it was fine, but I will try to get it out locally (Portland International Raceway) for a good flog before the trip to Willow Springs. For some reason the car runs the primary cooling fan full time so it keeps temps in check pretty well. I know the relay hasn't been hot wired (hot grounded? :P) as I can command the fan off with EE Hack. I need to examine the bin to see why this is so. If someone changed the fan settings why would they run the cooling fan full time rather than just have it on at 190° or some such? And why leave the skip-shift on!? I will fix these things.
