We've been running the Dry Sump for many years and now we are using one on KMP 259......

A thermostat would be better then a Heaters in the tank......

With the thermostat the oil temp is up to 210 with in a few minutes or a few miles......

Btw we are using 17 quarts of oil with our system and the thermostat controls the oil temp whether we are on the track or street...

And -12 Aeroquip is fine .....-16 is to big....

And the bigger concern is making sure the motor can breathe.....
