ITS Mustang Results - some useful/useless information ...

[Ron Earp]

Anyway, as stated above, the oil pressure was perfect w/zero drop at any point on the track at my 2nd race.

That is as it should be. Ours has also been stable with the stock pan and I went back to pull some data from the oil pressure sensor that we log into the Traqmate. It is rock steady except for shifts where it drops down a bit, sometimes 10 psi if the shift is slow, but it typically hovers around 52psi when good and hot from 1200 RPM to 5100 RPM. Here is a plot, the third trace is oil pressure vs distance for one lap of RRR, our last race we entered.



The oil pressure drops during the shifts, the gear position is shown in the fourth trace. There is a little bit of a drop around 2300 ft that is due to g loading I suspect but I'm not too worried about it, at least not yet.
