This oil pan worth it?

Holds 1.25 quarts more. See link for other things to help cooling, etc. Keep in mind that my plans are to stay NA due to cost.

One of my distributors sent me a pic of this one. He wondered if there would be any interest in it from the G/Z crowd. If anyone wants, I can try to get some details and pricing information.

You can accomplish the increased oil capacity with a JWT pan spacer and provide extra cooling with a supplementary oil cooler which will perform far better than a ribbed pan. These are great investments, not wasted money. You could probably do both for around $500 or so.
Quality oil with timely changes is the key to an engine that will outlast the car. FI would of course introduce other risks.
