Re: New 383 Build

The problem with high volume pumps on the street is that they suck the oil pan dry. You need to use a deep oil pan at least 6qt in the pan otherwise all that extra flow just goes dry at around 5500 to 6k rpm. Race engines and street engines are vastly different. There are almost zero similarities. Making it a 1/4 mile at a time and being freshened up every couple hundred passes is nowhere near the same as a street engine that will get nothing more than the oil changed every 3k miles if its lucky.
