Do I need an FE side oiler?

[ERA Chas]

Well sorry my learned colleagues-I'm gonna F it up.

Nowhere has this guy said he's looking for the last HP, lowest lap time, 24 hour endurance or last hundredth. He just wants to have the sound that you bad-asses do.

And yes, you can get enough of that sound from a top-oil 390-445 / 500HP build from any of our resident builders for at least $5K less than the legend. A mild .500" lift SFT cam will give enough audible chaos to dazzle the parking lot sheep and tingle your toes. Which seems your priority.

You can build that killer SO when you're less concerned about how it sounds and more interested in port velocity, head flow, cam events and blueprinting specs.
Which may never happen.

We got another guy here who waxes (literally) incessantly and sublimely about the noise his FE makes with exactly the same non-SideOiler combination I outline above. He spent the saved money on extra rollbars and pedicures.
His name starts with Patrick and ends with a .......

Who the hell appointed you the voice of reason? I need to make sure you don't talk to my wife before I launch into my next unneeded purchase (which may very well be imminent.)

Chas is absolutely right (ehrr, not on the pedicure thing, though). The OP should just do what I did. 500HP will be plenty for him and his engine will still be pulling strong long after he's pushing up daisies....

Assumed this was to be posted sooner or later.
