Have been looking around for installation How To's etc. but haven't found much. Does anyone have a Accusump setup for a sometime track C5? Or has GM fixed oil starvation problem under high G loads on a 03 C5 with improved oil pan baffling?
 
Take a look at Canton's offering; it's the one I think I'm going to purchase.

By the way, Canton's got some other neat products for our C4s and C5s, such as this expansion tank for the C4:

or this one for the C5:

the big problem is not the pan but the fact that oil is being held upstairs by the the forces generated in the turns and can not return to the pan fast enought. GM recommends you run 1 quart over full at track events.
 
Thanks Ken and Motorman. I have been adding the extra quart it disappears rather quickly after a hard day. At the last track event I went to, everyone is always worried about there Oil Temp. 280+. I am more concerned with no oil pressure, I don't even look at the oil temp, just look out the window and drive.:)
