Wet sump issues AMP
I'm I silly, to put another wet sump LS/LT on AMP, after hurting my LS3? The last long straight/turn, stacked up my oil on one side, reducing oil pressure and causing lifter damage.
Just got a 23 ZL1. Is the LT4 better equipped to handle this track? Novice driver, stock tire/brakes. Anything I can do to safe guard LT4. Want to keep this car stock w/warranty. Thanks for all replies, already learned alot here. Brett |

+8000 track miles on LT4 @ advanced pace. Check level cold before each track day. I leave 15w50 in it year round (Georgia) & change oil ~500 track miles (4-6 days), no issues. The Gen6 V8 cars 10 quart deep pans seem to perform well.

No worries with the LT4. About 8-10k track miles on mine. COTA has a long carousel (turns 16-18). High speed straights into hair-pins so hard braking. No issues. 15w-50 per GM for high g-loading. Also run year around.

Just did AMP all day 2 weeks ago with no issues at all, it was my first time there and I liked how the track was labeled well for turn in, apex, and turn out. I didn't find the last sweeper to be to bad but a guy hit the strait carrying to much speed and dipped his left rear in the grass and that was it for him unfortunately. Tank slappers are the worst!
The B&B across the street called Racers Retreat was awesome and it's highly recommended. Also did Road Atlanta and had a great time there, we'll be back!
