It absolutely extends the life of my race motors. There are corners at
certain tracks that have a tendency to expose the pump pick up regardless of
how good the pan baffling. This is where the accusump shines. Without it,
I'd go through a lot more motors, and I go through too many already. The
pre-lubing is nice, especially after the car has sat a while between races.

> Of course the pump is positive displacement, when it is pumping oil. If
it is just sucking air (as in a particular hard left-hand corner),
My point is, regardless of what is on the inlet side of the pump, you can't
orce oil backwards through it (except to the extent it leaks all the time).
t acts like a check valve, even if it is not turning.
I am assuming that the main purpose of the Accusump is to avoid loss of oil
ressure in hard turns. Pre-lubing is a nicety, but these engines normally
ast many thousands of starts with no pre-lube, so it doesn't seem like a
equirement to me. Does anyone really believe that it extends the life of
heir race motor?
