Yeah Accusump or Moroso, have an inkling pre-oiling the engine, particularly pressurising the lifters, cam and valvetrain on startup will prove worthwhile insurance.

To achieve this you require more scope / flexibility in your valve timing using a cam phaser, like I have.
450rwkw out of a twin turbo 6.0 V8 is a known thing, scaling back your effective volume to a highly efficient 3.0 on AFM and from around 4.0 on…[Read more]
