Quote: That's the milodon peice for the dipstick and it's just the normal pan. 7 quarts? Weve determined that the road race pan probably isn't needed for what I want to do, even with sticky tires.
31000 listed as 6 quart. I run up to 7-ish. I log oil pressures and haven't had an oil pressure drop.
The 31003 RR pan is listed as 7 quart.
Moving on ....
What do you spin yours up to Wade...I'm wondering if mine will be OK to 7100 without an accumulator......
I spun the forged 5.7 to 7,000+. With accumulator. 10+ seconds at 7,000+ WOT.
I didn't spin the 6.1 over 6500. That was being overly cautious.
I would recommend an accumulator. Cheap insurance. Hemi Joe ran his dry early on at the track if I remember correctly- in the 7500 rpm range maybe?
The modern Mopar thread we had on oiling had more info on the subject, including that the drag pak guys run 11.5 quarts between their pan (8 qt) and accumulator (3 qt). Without the accumulator they were running dry at high rpm. With the accumulator they're turning 8,300-8,500.
