Default accusump necessary ?

Ran across these and wonder if anyone used these on a road track?

would low oil flow pushrods do just as good?

absolutely use an accu-sump.

Pre lub the block before starting and those high speed sweeping left handers can cause oil starvation in back of the block.

helps keep oil pressure up, and keep the oil flowing.

The accu-sump and oil cooler plus the trans cooler were the BEST mods I have done to my car.
