Look, if you are not running in the 10's, then a windage tray, a girdle, a canton oil pan and high volume pump are all you will ever need.

I haven't heard anything yet that tells me he is going to be anywhere near that serious.

It's been my experience that by the time you are going fast enough to benefit from a scraper, you already know about it. This guy is miles from there. A scraper improperly installed can wreck an engine, so i was weighing the pros and cons, for this guy in particular, and every time the scraper lost out. It's just not necessary for his application.

BTW, when you get below 10 seconds, it costs $1k for every tenth you want off. At 9 seconds, it's $2k. At 8 seconds, you're looking at over $5k per tenth you want reduced from your time.

Just out of curiosity, if the engine is turning 7500 rpms during a 10 second 1/4, why is the oil on the crank any more dangerous when the engine is turning 7500 rpms during an 8 second 1/4?




Take care,
