I think they're smart doing that because of the bad rap they'd get if people went out and tracked their cars and had issues... only takes a few and the rumor mill cranks up... so they're almost in a "must do" situation.

For me -- I'd just add in an Accusump for the track "starvation" / G forces / oil climbing the pan etc occasions.
Oh I know. And I could do it, but it would delay getting the car together, particularly because the system I would want (the Dailey setup) is 6-8 weeks out right now. And I really like the clean underhood area of TOW right now. I'm trying to keep with the original idea behind my theme and not do add-on stuff at this point. Although Eric would happily package it all up for me.

The Accusump should do just fine for my needs. I've got one on order with Ron, and when it arrives I'm going to have it recoated to change the blue to black to 'hide' it better. I've got some re-wiring to do to integrate it in the car, but that's no big deal. I only spent 6 weeks wiring the car the first time, right?
