C5R Oil Starvation?
I was up at Road Atlanta this afternoon talking to a Corvette racer, and he mentioned that a friend had lunched his C5R block-based race engine due to oil starvation under hard cornering. Supposedly, this was caused by the larger oil passages in the C5R block. The conventional wisdom in his crowd was that C5R-based engines should be dry-sumped. I only do track days with my car, so is this something I should worry about? I'd hate to lose a big buck engine.
