I'm currently running a "tuna can" on the bottom of the engine for a little more oil and hopefully better oiling during auto cross. Anyone using one of these:

One of the problems with the big deep sump, is the warm up time for the oil. If you are using the car for autocross you are better off with the tuna can. If you never get your engine up to operating temp, you can damage the engine.
