NB, that drop in oil pressure you see in turns is a sure sign of a stock oil pan, or severe underfilling. Left in place and driven on the street in the same manner, it will destroy your main and rod bearings, since the pressure drop indicates the pump is sucking air while under load. I've seen an engine lose all oil pressure from this in one (1.0) club level open-track afternoon.

Our fix here is a larger volume pan with trap doors, baffles and scrapers such as the racing quality oil pan assembly sold by Aviaid. It is a bolt on mod. A bit expensive but cheaper than an engine overhaul.
