It picked back up and didnt go 2 low but i didnt like it. Is there anyway to cure the problem without pulling the motor and switching to a baffled oil pan? Also,i run a six pack pan. I plan on freshining up the motor at the end of the year but i just want 2 get it through the rest of the season without hurting it! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I havnt noticed the problem until i recently got the car 2 hook better. Any sugestions would be appreciated! Thanks 4 the help! 383s rule! "I aint here on buisness baby,Iam only here for fun"

There are no baffles in the pan you are running now ? ... a TRUE six-pack pan should have good baffling in it. If you are having OP probs with this set-up .. you BEST put a good pan on it or you WILL hurt-it ferr-sure.

DO IT ..... without baffles ...all that oil is up in the back two cylinders KILLING the horsepower. Getting a good oiling system is one of the best investments you can make.
