Did you run without balance shafts too? We had 100+ psi with even moderately ported oil filter housing, kiggly hla, and no balance shafts. That's just pumping extra oil to the top of the motor draining things faster. We also ported all the oil drain ports in the head where there is commonly a bunch of extra casting flash blocking flow.
Now were more inline with 10psi per 1000rpms after more porting and using the softer spring.
I still haven't installed the Accusump, but its on my list of things to do. I think you lost oil pressure due to some combination not matching stock configuration cause most stock block guys are getting years of track/autoX without oil starvation destruction.

I still had the balance shafts and I hadn't done any porting. The only modification to oiling I had was an upgraded Setrab 25 row cooler. I know there was another guy on the forum that vented his block in the same fashion the same weekend on track, but it was a couple years ago, so I don't remember who. Mine let go in a fast right hand sweeper, where I was going about 60-62mph in 2nd.
It's about a 100° turn, so pretty long.
I've done approx 10-12 sessions on that course.
Not sure how many Gs I was pulling, though.

For anyone interested:
I found a California supplier for oil pans. The closest comparison would be the RaceFab pans. They will have the same features with exception of moving the oil pick up, the international shipping, wait, and cost LOL. They are not vendors, so i won't post pricing, options, etc. Just letting everyone know. PM me if you are interested.

I'd suggest an Accusump. A few TA EVO's are running a 3 quart accusump with an electric valve, and that's also what I have on my car. I'm running 305mm slicks w/ aero. Stock pan, and stock HLA.
