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? This post has been edited by fast ken: Jun 30 2012, 01:43 PM |

I didn't find a 3 quart accusump to be enough to save my bearings. I'd prefer a baffled pan if I get to choose. I sold the accusump and I'm putting a 7 quart Canton in the Corvette for that exact reason.

My experience with the Canton pans I tried was as follows: As the gas pedal went down so did the oil pressure. As soon as I feathered or released the throttle oil pressure went up. Then when I added in a right hand turn with WOT it would drop into the 20 lb range. Very distracting to watch while driving a road course!
Racedad I will order one of the JEGS oil pump baffles. I did a search and it looks the same as one by Moroso. I still haven't decided on which pan I will run- stock or Champ. Anyone else? This post has been edited by fast ken: Jul 1 2012, 04:53 AM |
