Well I'm currently getting some oil residue around the pan seal so I figured it is leaking from the track days. So I figured while I reseal the pan, I might as well install the regulator and the new oil pan. Do you think this will keep my oil temps too low now? The pan is linked below

mindseye engineering = mazsport = thief.
However the only good thing about that kind of oil pans (ARC makes one) is that they have baffles that help reduce the chances of cavitation or whatever it is named.

Yes I know this pan is from Scott at Mazsport. I have talked to him about the benefits of the pan. The additional capacity will act as another oil cooler. I'm figuring that it is worth it for my track days. I can stretch the oil change interval slightly longer as well. I'm still on the fence though.
