Default Have 3 extra quarts of oil in the motor??

Running 80 psi of oil pressure, have seen no loss of pressure going down straights without "g" turn. I have not seen blueing of bearings or crank, no wear on bearings. Maybe running 12 quarts of oil in a wet system is enough to not cause oil pressure drops when racing. I am running #10 lines but going to #12 on next motor. There are articles in diesel mag and pontiac mag about running accusumps. They may only use it as a pre oiler. I do see others use accusumps in autocross and hill climps in the 4X4 seen with 30-55 degree uphill runs. Rick L.
