Buying a pre-lube system-

[Z-linkCobra]

I guess I am failing to see the need for a pre-lube system. I have instant oil pressure when I fire my motor. I run a 5 stage weaver brothers pump that is mounted below the oil level in my tank. The pump stays primed all the time and again, oil pressure is instantaneous.

Am I missing something?

The only thing I can think of that you might be missing is that dry sump systems and wet sump systems behave differently. Additionally most of the guys don't have a dry sump system like you do, they have a wet sump system that well, behaves differently ...

Of course there are a lot of pre-oilers that appear on dry sump systems also which sort of begs the question why - go figure.
