| If JCRAFTERS has a Boss9 on a dyno,then he must not have been present when it was tested! If he was,then he would know these things already. In addition to the high G loads encountered by the oil in a wet sump design,the dry sump system also pulls vacuum inside the crankcase. In case you didnt know,vacuum also makes more power,esspecially in the high RPM environment of NASCAR. Besides, when has a "normal"385 ever needed a dry sump system for high performance on the street or track? And when you say your 429 SCJ ran out of oil above 5000 RPM,it sounds to me like you simply did not have enough oil in it to begin with. Clevelands do the same thing,all I do is run 1 1/2 extra quarts of oil,its that simple! I have run Clevelands well into the 8500+ RPM range many times,with nothing more than a standard volume oil pump,with thin oil in the pan. Try that with an FE! BTW,Im talking about the oiling system itself. Look at the stock oiling system in your precious FE motor. Look at the oil holes in the main bearing saddles,they dont even line up with the hole in the bearing! They are like half blocked by the main bearing itself! Another FE oil problem is the pump to block oil passage,its 3/8" inch! Then take a look at the oil passage on the outside of the block,where it passes into the part that mounts the filter,it too,needs to be opened up! The FE is starving itself for oil! The 385 is not. When you finally figure these truths out,then get back to me. |
