I agree, unless you are looking for the last .01 percent in performance. I'll take the $300 insurance policy on my $25,000 engine, regardless of the oil pan.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Improved racing now makes a trap-door baffled pan for the Holley-302 pan that wasn't available 6 months ago when I installed my motor. I'll be dropping my sub to pull my motor and install one of those too now!

Good insurance.


Here's what people kind of don't think about --- we start putting big ass wide super sticky tires on these cars -- thus RAISING the G's forces they can pull in the corners.... Then we do out and begin to track them - pushing the boundries way beyond the "street" scene... and that oil is just begging to climb the pan and block walls ---- and leave the pick up dry as a bone....

I put a 7 quart road race pan with trap doors on mine 11 years ago when the only sticky tires it had were on the rear! Now, with RT615k tires and the bigger brakes the car is going back together with an accumulator also.
