I do not have the funds right now for a dry sump !!!
I wish I could do that but no im gonna look to make something up in there !
I have a few good ideas that should do the trick.
But a spacer will probably be added to the mix

It seems more like oil starvation than anything else. Were the oil levels ok, before and after track use?

due to some restriction and last minute problem . that was not possible .
trust me I wanted to tow the car there !!!!

yup I saw so many guys getting their rev limit to 8000 rpm ...
my reason to have it there wasnt to look cool or anything but only to stay in gear as much as I can which was perfect with the gear that sit in my diff !

yea i think with the VVEL heads they set it at 7800rpm. you can PM bkleeman if you have any questions and he might answer. BJ, Dwnshft, might also know since he races in the conti-challenge team. and yea, having those extra revs can really save you a 2-3 or 3-4 shift in a straight going into a corner which helps with laps times, especially if you are running the 4:10 gear. little different for you since you are auto though
