Pre-oiler question

Remember that for every corner that the accusump keeps your oil pressure up, It also takes away while it refills down that straight after the corner while you are running it to 7000 between the gears----
Oh, bet nobody ever noticed their oil pressure while turning 7000 -----------

Definitely apply KISS, and on everything you do with these machines. I've always been an advocate of using the highest volume oil pan you can fit, when shock compression puts you in contact with asphalt backoff a little

I thought the OP's question was about pre-lubrication as distinct from accumulators and systems designed to prevent oil starvation. Such simple prelubers exist and we used to use them on turbo motors before the advent of water cooled bearings. We ran them till we heard pressure bog the pump on start up and ran them on a timer at shut down. Today it is focused on preventing a dry start. The reservoir is your existing oil pan. Simple and effective in my experience.

With Accusump you get both, from their website -
Our Accusump Oil Accumulators deliver oil before starting to eliminate dry start scuffing (pre-oiling) and discharge oil during low oil pressure surges to protect against engine damage during demanding racing conditions.

I think most pre-lubers fill that dual roll, but if pre-oiling is all you want then the 1 QRT accumulator is sufficient (more than enough actually).
