I have an Accusump mounted behind the rear seat in my '65 Coronet. The Accusump is a bit of a hassle but it is nice to have oil pressure during a cold start.

Most cars will be just fine with a good oil pan. Once you start to really push the car hard in the turns you need a good oil pan plus the Accusump. When the car gets really fast you throw all of that stuff away and switch to a dry sump.

Tim's Valiant was on the edge of needing a dry sump. We tried a bunch of different oil pan designs in that car and none of them worked by themselves so we had to add the Accusump. The Accusump is a bandaid but it is better than blowing the engine. The move to a dry sump was just too big of a step to take.

I agree Dry Sump is the way to go on road racing applications. TA2 all have 10 quart dry sumped engines. The issue I ran into dry sump is the oil pan and the stock K-member. I even had a Missile Dry Sump pump back when I was gathering parts for a 572 Predator motor that I sold off.

The stock K-member requires a custom oil pan to made around it as well as a pulley to drive the dry sump pump on some setups such as the Dailey Engineering setup for Gen3 Hemi's, these may not fit easily which will exponentially escalate costs quickly.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
