Ok, over the last couple of days I have educated myself on the difference between a wet sump and a dry sump.
My 2001 996 C2 has a wet sump. I did read on the rennlist that an option was available to improve the wetsump (and thus better protect the engine). What's that bad boy cost installed? Anyone know, anyone updated their 996 in this fashion?
Secondly, it would seem to me that AX would not be the kind of sporting event where sustained G forces are likely to be found. Of course, what do I know? But it is my understanding that it is the sustained G forces pushing the oil through the baffles and up against the wall and away from the sump that cause the problem.
I guess the real question is: Is driving in the AX better than driving in a DE or TT at Button Willow when looking at the Wet Sump issue OR MAY I ASSUME (help me here), THAT AS LONG AS I HAVE STREET TIRES ON THE CAR I'M GOING TO SLIDE LONG BEFORE THERE IS A "G-FORCE" PROBLEM? After all, I have stock springs and suspension and soon 220 Kumho's; it's not like I'm going to pulling 1.6 G's.
