Self contained for me?
I have one of Andys kits purchased and it's shipping in a few days. I originally have the V-2 SI ordered, but I already have the crank pinned currently and would need to remove the rack again to tap the pan. So, my question is- would you just go ahead and get the V-3 and make life easier or what? My car sees less than 4k miles a year and changing the blower oil ain't no big deal. Thoughts?

So can a engine oil fed type be converted over to a self contained type? I have always wondered this but never called Vortech to ask them. I have oil fed type and would never do that way again if given the choice.

Vortech techs say if you are road racing/ long track time oil fed is better as it will stay cooler according to them. For street use mostly self contained is fine they said.
