They are designed to run with the nose up for the oil to be near the pickup. They are a reputable bearing wreckers in door cars that have the engine run level to the earth or any where near level, and run DRY ON DECELERATION, Baffles be damned. They are often misapplied in cars. If you run a accumulator to make up for this problem, you are making the point that I was trying to avoid by using a conventional sump pan that works in a door car. If you run one in a car you are just lucky so far at your performance level. This is the reason why I don't recommend shoe box pans in door cars with level run engines, not Drag boats and Dragsters that they are made for. They are called Dragster pans for a reason. Again I am calling a shoe box pan one that has no sump. If you like them then run it. I'm just sayen.. I hope this helps clarify my previous comment. Sorry I did not elaborate in earlier entry.
suspected that that would probably been your reasoning & we have found oil pressure dips in the altered,IF oil level is at all low.I was just wondering if you had any other reasons.Yea Baffels!whatever
