    Need to tighten up the pivot screws on that helmet visor, much easier driving with 2 hands.

    Default Oil Pressure

    Interesting to see how dramatically Benny's oil pressure drop when he hits the brakes real hard in the video with data. Time for an accusump?

    with good throttle blipping during heavy braking (i try to brake as little as possible) and the rilltech oil pan i rarely go below 20psi down here where it gets hotter than hell. alarm lights are set at 15psi. oil changes after evry race weekend (cheap insurance)but i only have run homestead and palm beach to base my oil pressure with braking. but in 3 years running havent had a oil pressure issue yet knock on wood)

    saw an Accusump work quick enough on motorcycle engine'd cars.
    They don't respond quickly enough, and the weight factor doesn't help either.

    GREAT for pre-lubing aotomotive engines though...
