Oh come on, thats a little extreme. There are plenty of people who are running external oiling setups in street cars with factory suspension.

In no way am I saying it is easier or more trouble free then an internal system, but I am also of the belief that when it comes to oiling, a bit of extra help on the system doesn't hurt.

How safe is it to wind a 700-750hp big block to 7000rpms, maybe even 7500, with a 6 quart pan and internal 3/8" pickup? Im not questioning knowledge, I am seriously asking as I am new to the RB platform. This will be an engine that is raced 1 -2 times a month, and regularly beaten up on the street.
