Tuna Can or Deep Sump Options

[jmalone]

I am wondering whether to add a tuna can to my stock 2.0. Is it a prudent upgrade? Also I don't see a lot of deep sumps used by members, is there some reason that the Tuna Can solution is preferred?

(As a retired commercial tuna fisherman, I prefer my tuna in water anyway, not in 10/40)

on my old race car, we added a 2nd oil warning light with a 15psi warning threshold, instead of stock 3psi light in the dash

its really pretty amazing to see how frequently the type 4 motor is below 15pounds of pressure in the corners....

and remember this was a race car with a high output, high pressure oiling system that was always over 100psi cold, and always running 30-50psi on the oil pressure gauge when hot... not a low rpm engine, not a tired engine with bad pressure.

so having said all of that
I run tuna can's on my street cars
I think that the stock motor design does not have adequate pick up, for modern tires and modern G forces....

perfectly adequate for micheline xzx 165 series tires!
