Accusump - pros & cons

[J.R. Haddad]

Guys, one of the things we have to remember, is that in the Super Classes
and big money bracket races, is that they build 30-40-50% more Horsepower than they need. In cases like that, there is no need, nor
would it be prudent, to run low oil levels. In a combo like that, I would
run at least 1 quart of extra oil, if not more. I will very shortly be schooled
on why I am wrong. In 3, 2, 1..........

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

Maybe there are not that bright, still want to know who the these professional engine builders are. Or do they just exist in your mind?

There it is!! You run your engine a quart low?? Tell you why?? I need
much more information on your motor. Type, size, oil pan, any restrictors
any where in the motor, heads, etc. Cam size, mm not lift, overlap.
Oil pan manufacturers recommended oil amount, what you consider full,
to get 1 quart down. Rocker make, valve springs, ring set up, etc.
With most of those factors, I could attempt to answer your question.

Thanks,
