Hey Brian, have you tried running a vacuum pump on any of them? The new design Moroso 3 vane seems to be holding up really well and does a great job controlling the oil, especially when used with a good pan. It's not uncommon to see a 10-20hp increase with it.

On a side note, I'm moving to a new shop next month and want to pick your brain a bit about dyno cell design. You did an excellent job.
