    Aluminum Oil Pans?

    Besides the weight, what are the advantages of running Dan Olsen or Doug Lee Engineuity types? We currently run the higher end champ steel pans.

    I see that Champ now makes aluminum pans as well.

    Thanks.

    Would act as an oil cooler allowing the heat to transfer more rapidly.

      Also make your wallet lighter. Seems like a good way to spend unnecessary money but that's just me.

        I'll stick with steel. Guy I race with bought a champ aluminum pan. Hit a rock in the infield avoiding an accident and cracked it. Couldn't fix it at the track. Steel could have been welded.
        My sarcasm is a pre-emptive strike to your stupidity!!
