I have used remote oil filter for years on my circle track car. #10 Lines,HV pump and Kevco pan with 9 qts total in the system. Full groved mains with .003 and .0025 on the rods. Engine never ran under 4500 with a max of 6500. After oil was hot 280deg or more It only had 45psi at WOT. Thought for sure she would blow but it never did and took me to a track championship. I will also say that when i put a heaver oil in it to bring up the oil preasure it also made the oil temp go over 300. So i went back to 5W30 OIL. Flow is what u need NOT PREASURE. When i took the engine apart at the end of the season didnt see anything wrong with the bearings.



Not to get off topic, but which Kevko pan were you running? and how long were your lines?

Also, at 280 degrees of oil temp, how long would it run for extended periods of time for? and what oil were you using? a cooler at all?

I only ask because I have a half filled block and oil temps are something I am also monitoring right now as well.
