I really should have mixed race gas in the tank for protection and I will never do an event without throwing some in there in the future. It's fairly cheap protection but nice to not require it when street driving or even an autoX event I figure.
The oil cooling system seemed to be working and again until the detonation presented itself, thats when water and oil temps shot up. I recall I have read there may be a slight aid in oil cooling from the Accusump? Not sure if that's true or how significant that could be though.
So I hope no changes needed in this department. Thanks for asking.

I know you were considering a dry sump at one point. Any more thought about that. You can definitely keep the oil temps consistent with a dry sump system. Plus the advantage of crankcase vacuum you can add some hp.
