Several tracks I ran had longer left corners than that. When I talked to the ALMS Corvette team, they had a huge dry sump in the trunk of the car. I don't track the Vette anymore.

What rate does the Z (370Z) pump oil? My bet is that is about 2 quarts per second. The 2 quarts in the Accusump will last 1 second. That may be enough if you get a BIG warning light as you are flying through a right hand corner to get off the gas (and possible spin). However, this one way baffled pan is intended to stop that situation from ever occurring. I am considering the Accusump in addition to this pan. I have the 34 row Setrab and I would mount the Accusump in the oil cooler return line in the front of the car above the bumper where the oil lines are located.

Data would be greatly appreciated.
