OK Otto,
Please explain to me how it is free HP when you trade one oil pump 
for three (or at least two) which take power to turn them and you add 
about 50 or 60 lbs to the car at least which takes power to move down 
the track.
  If I can keep the foam down and the pressure up (should be 
related), it seems to me that driving one pump uses less HP and 
driving one or three pumps is not free HP to me in any case. 
Currently my oil pressure stays constant during the pass once it 
warms up. This is on a BBC twin turbo. I will try warming the oil for 
next year and increasing the pressure to about 75 PSI from 60 PSI. 
And may add an air/oil separator to the turbo lube system.
Skip
