Was wondering if they free up horsepower as advertised. If so how much and how much ET can you expect to pick up from one.

Jerry,

I can't give you any specifics as other might be able to do, but if I remember correctly, a tenth gain in et would require about another 100hp gain or something like that.

I think you're thinking of 100 pound weight reduction for 1 tenth ET gain.

As far as windage trays go, I have heard (HEARD, not seen ) of up to 15 hp on higher-revving engines. But like I said, I have not actually seen the gains w/ my own eyes.

Usually about 8-10 HP on a stock pan equipped engine.

The below excerpt might interest you;

quote:
With new found enthusiasm we fabricated some oil pans with a plexa-glass window and light inside. This allowed us to actually see what was going on inside the pan during full throttle high r.p.m. dyno pulls. To make a long story short, what we found was 360 degrees of mass chaos. The best way to describe the spinning crank is to imagine a trailer tire with no fender going through a puddle of water, fanning out oil 360 degrees also, it became clear that oil was stacking up under the scraper.
