friend tryed to give me sugestions for car, and said that i should throw a new oil pan in like he did,

is there any gain really, im sure it might hold more oil but still

the benefit comes when you build strokers that dont clear a stocker, you have a car that has a new kmember and you have clearnace issues, you want the best in oiling for a car that rails corners really hard, you want more oil capacity for a racing engine. most street engines its not necessary. An example of a car that uses these oil pans a lot on the street is my beloved fox bodies. Most of the stroker guys use them, and guys that go to a tubular k member. The guys that road race their stangs use them too. My friend is running a canton pan on his new 347 novi2000, maxiumum motorspors suspension car. pretty nice lookin pan if you ask me

yes stay stock bro. the ls1 uses a nice pan thats actually structural to the engine. now that i think of it, im not entirely sure that moroso and canton even make pans for ls1s. ls1's to my knowledge dont have windage problems.
