Again, the pros and cons of using an accusump is an Engine conversation and not exclusive to engines being used in stock and super stock cars.

My son has no interest in stock eliminator at this time, if he did I would have ordered a COPO long ago.





LOL!!:p

In our Moroso 3qt accumulators, they basically carry an additional 1.7qts I think. That's with the required pre-charge pressure and a system that runs around 55psi of oil pressure.

A wise man once said: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

There is no downside to an accusump.

On my car, I have a single stage external pump plumbed to a good pan with a sump that's almost completely covered and baffled. Oil pressure drops at the stripe if I don't immediately kill the engine.

Apart from an accusump, I "waste" my money on coated bearings and racing oil.

On an expensive, professionally-built racing engine that turns 10,400 rpm pass after pass, I "foolishly" spend a few hundred more on parts that any professional builder would consider a good idea.

There is, it doesn’t fix the root cause of low oil pressure which is due poor oil control. Hence it’s a band aid and should call into question one’s choice of engine builders IF said low oil pressure on deceleration and/or braking is a real concern.

That said, you and anyone else that choses to do so, need not justify your decision about your program to anyone and can “foolishly” spend your $ on and installing an accusump and it affects no one here but this thread isn’t about you and isn’t about an engine that turns 10,400rpm either!

Last, I have yet to have any professional engine builder tell me, suggest to me, that I need to use an accusump with their engine,

Suddenly, I'm reminded of another saying.

“Never argue with a fool. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Maybe you should have Mr. Reher build you an engine…….

Mr. Reher hasn’t built an engine in years and I have no need for his services as my engines are built by 2 of the best in sportsman drag racing engines.

Logical fallacy, even if he has not built any in years does not discount his expertise. and who are these "mystery" builders?
