Its not something I am worried about. With the amount of time we spend looking at parts on our cars and checking things over its something that I will catch before there is a real issue. Besides that, I will not have time to look at a gauge at full throttle or high RPM's. Taking your eye off the road in a car with this kind of power is not a good idea.

Really? No baffles or nothin like the Tomei kit or something? Thats impressive yet slightly crazy I think at the same time where as iv heard of people "losing oil pressure" with the stock pan under heavy acceleration. Is there atleast a crank scrapper at all?
