Anyone have experience with a Champ Oil Pan #CP40RB on a '97 Camaro LT1??? This is their 5 quart pan I would like to use on my street legal road course car. I am trying to find an option, other than Canton, and is better then stock. I have had bad luck with the Canton pans. I have tried them twice on 2 separate builds (see youtube video- Ken Cemo Canton).
I am running an oil cooler.
Or should I use the stock pan and find room for an Accusump under the hood?

I run a Champ pan on my SBC. It works well (no accumulator), was cheap, and has kept the bearings alive for 4 seasons of AX in the Corvette with big slicks. The windage tray could be better, but an additional or different one could be grafted in. I would buy another one if I built another engine. Buy their pick-up as well. You may have to change the oil pump depending on your current oil pump pick-up tube size. I also used the baffle (Jegs part# 710-23000) that bolts under the oil pump as an additional measure of oil control. Your only issue may be exhaust clearance at the y-pipe. I also have a stock sized starter and run an HP4 long filter. The 8qt oil change is the only down side at $9 per quart or more.....
