A sump spacer and/or extended sump with baffles will provide an additional litre or so, which will be a reasonable safety margin for most track-day aficionado's using R-Spec tyres (RS-3, AD08, R888 etc) where the session length is 15 minutes.
Running full race (longer duration events, full slicks), then an Accusump is the minimum insurance, but serious amateur or semi-pro competition then the only solution is a dry-sump system. I track my car regularly, use Yoki A048 or Dunlop DZ03G R-Spec's, and once a year run in a 6-hour relay where duration is 30-minutes and I do not get surge with a JWT sump extender, oil cooler and an additional litre of oil in the engine. However, if I was "racing", I'd install a Dailey Engineering dry-sump. Tread you own path, make your own decisions. |
