Here's my 2 cents worth...

The JAE pan is GREAT!!  No oil pressure loss in corners...I've never found a 
need for an accusump and have never used one.  With the extra oil capacity of 
this pan, I also don't need an external oil cooler.  Had one initially, but 
couldn't get enough oil temp, so we took it off!!  My twincam occasionally 
sees 10,000 rpm, and often sees 8,500+.  So, don't go overboard with stuff 
you don't need.
