| The
advantages of the belt driven External Single Stage Pump System vs.
a conventional wet sump system are realized in both significant horsepower
increases available and in convenience or accessibility. When sanctioning
rules permit, this system can produce sizeable horsepower increases
through the elimination of the torsional harmonics transmitted from
the stock location oil pump through the distributor, camshaft and
timing chain, belt or drive. Additional or perhaps larger horsepower
gains are now available through the installation of a full length
Teflon coated uni-directional windage screen in the absence of the
stock location oil pump and pickup. By significantly increasing the
windage screen and oil recovery area oil pan turbulence and windage
are reduced in proportion to the windage screen area increase. |
