For street use, there is a risk that the increased depth(+2 qts.) creates a risk of damaging the sump on road debris.This is stated clearly in the product details. There are competitve products that are shallower and therefore address this issue to some extent.But they do not have
Pedro's horizontal baffle.
Is there an intelligent way to get the horizontal dam(as Pedro calls it) without such a thick sump spacer and with a correspondingly thinner pick up tube spacers ?
Alternatively , is there a sump guard/skid plate available ?
Why am I trying so hard to have an additional version of Pedro's TechnoSump offered and not just buy a competitors shallower design? Because none of the competitors designs have the horizontal baffle. This baffle seems to be a key element (and comfirmed by his testing at Sebring). It reduces the tendency of the oil to 'climb' the walls of the vertical baffles and escape from the pickup area -on long, fast curves with even moderate G force.
If Pedro waits too long ,some of the competitors may just add the horizontal dam and snag that opportunity for themselves.That would be a shame because it is Pedro's idea.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
