@@tackettshoh I know, it's like putting a deep sump oil pan on your engine and using the stock pick up screen. People just don't generally do that. The oil is slightly cooler down low, less aerated, more stable etc.. If you have more oil but just keep taking it off the top, the deeper pan really serves no purpose. You want to pick up the oil down low where it is more stable and you use all the oil not just the top surface. Also , now have more room for the oil to slosh to the back of the pan and could result in oil starvation on launch. YMMV

If it comes off of 0 than your transfer slot is open to much. Secondly power valve should be half of your manifold vacuum . If you got 8 inches of vaccum, throw a 4.5 in it.
