We went to the Corvette Museum event at VIR was this past Monday and Tuesday and made it there and back safe and sound. AND WE HAD A BLAST!!!! My ARE Dry Sump and SPINTRIC equipped Corvette performance WAS OUTSTANDING!!! Can't wait to go back. I went knowing I had enough brakes for one day but it was worth it to see Jim Painter. And the car has never been this much fun. It must be that dang AFM device. (Guy coined the word "AFM" at the last trade show, hint, the last word is "Miracle" Ha!)
So here's the scoop.
With air temperature about 85 degrees, I had no higher than 215 degree water temps and oil temps never exceeded 235 degrees in the 4, 30 minute sessions. The car never skipped a beat , always good oil pressure and I have never had such low water and oil temps even with air temperature in the 80's. The Spintric definitely made the difference in having stable water and oil temps in my C6.
That's the truth and I am sticking to it. After adding the Spintric I finally have decent water and oil temps. Thanks to Gary, Phil, Darren, Sandy and the ARE crew!
We were experiencing oil pressure and very high oil temperature problems in all the last racing events. After installing the Spintric® in our Dry Sump System we have solved that problem. Oil pressure is higher and oil temperature 20 degrees lower. " Now we need brakes that would only work as well! ha

"We only use ARE Dry Sump Systems and the Spintric® air oil separator in our "Ultra 4" racing trucks. Awesome work. Very talented fabricators." Eric's 650 HP LS engine is run thru the paces (and the air) as you see, and the systems are working flawlessly. ARE will be helping Eric with a new dry sump tank design to further aid in the "air maneuvers" that produce even more challenges for the dry sump system. Eric took First Place in their first race of 2015! Congratulations! The fabrication, welding, and instillation of all the components are truly First Class.

Since using the Spintric® our engine has being able to maintain such a high oil pressure and we have notice that our oil loss over an event has substantially reduced....Thanks to Gary and his Spintric®

Here are some pictures of the car, in front the 2.0L with the Spintric®. At the back the 4x4 with 3.0L H1V8. Both datalog screenshots are before and after. The cars are powered by 2 liter 4 cam 4 valve V8's 10,000 rpm.

The first graph shows the data on track without the Spintric® hooked up, 2nd graph is with Spintric®. Top line is oil pressure and spikes. The Spintric® has all but eliminated the surges caused by air, and the mini spikes are normal oil pump fluctuations.
"The Spintric dropped my max oil temp by 20+ degrees. When I did the engine rebuild this winter, I was able to reuse the main bearings for this season. The oil lubrication is obviously more effective than before installing the Spintric."

“Hi Gary and Team, I have now had a season with my dry sump kit installed. All parts have performed flawlessly. The car is still running relatively low boost at 19 lbs and has 426 wheel horsepower. Thank for a great product and good service when I was purchasing."

Before using the dry sump set up I had many engines fail, all big ends, I think this was a lack of oil in the wet sump setup. All was adressed with the Subaru ARE Dry Sump Kit you supplied, NO more big end failing. Now I realize that there is a high amount of air emulsion in my oil and I am adding a Spintric....update on the Spintric to follow....

"We are very happy with the Spintric.
It has helped our oil pressure immensely from idle thru to high RPM and the 6" filter confirms there is zero wear in our engine since installing the Spintric.
Works great! Thanks for a brilliant product!"
