In case anyone is interested, here is a screen shot at the end of Riverside @ Buttonwillow. Looks like I was around 95-100mph and 5500RPM. This sweeper is a long, sustained R hander. Car was under this load for approx 5-6sec and I was on 255 NT-01. Not the greatest stress on our cars, but still looks like it's damned close to 100psi. Oil is 10w40 Rotella T6.

Thats some data , kinda sorta. Maybe a data logger will show clear results of that pan one day. Its much better then stock.


Are you comfortable with using the T6 at extremely high temps?

The stock pan drops to <40psi as soon as the car takes a set in a right hand corner with NT01's, so that's definitely better than stock...lol

I don't have a way to data log oil pressure, so pictures of a gauge will have to do . If there is a small/fast enough fluctuation that it doesn't show up on a gauge, I'm okay with that.

Very comfortable with the oil. My oil temp doesn't get extremely high. Since that picture, I've upgraded the oil cooler and have yet to see oil temps over 240-250. That was after the summer, though, so we'll see how it does in 100*+ weather. Also, after reading results from others, I've sent Rotella to Blackstone a couple times and got good results (which I have since lost LOL).

I'm in let me know when the funds are required and when he is going to do a batch. I am in the middle of racing season here in AZ, but I can pull the pan if needed.

As long as it follows the same route as other 3" DPs, then yes. The pans were test fitted on my car and that's what I run.

At any given time, I have one or two people wanting me to contact my guy to have one done, but never three at the same time.
To date, he's only made five LOL

If there really that kind of semi consistent interest, why doesn't he just build 3-4 at a time?

He would, if we got 3-4 at a time that were interested. Three is his minimum requirement. Is that what you mean?
He says three is the minimum amount to get him to inhale the burned-off paint fumes from the builds
