Default V2 vs V3

Hello all... i am doing a mild build and am trying to figure out which kit i wanna buy. i am keeping stock internels. what is the diff between the to? i know the V3 requires no oil lines b/c it keeps its own. but whats the diff in reliabilty between the two? any advice would be nice. oh ya i have an 05 base. i already have Utec, RC 550's, Kentix V+, Strup headers/test pipes, borla exhaust, Act 6puck...Just waiting on a S/C... thanks

they are the exact same internals and bearings. technically, the V2s should be more reliable bc they have a huge oil sump to pull from. and that even more critical if you drive hard alot.

I'd prefer the V2

I'd rather change oil one time instead of twice and the V2 is going to stand up to more abuse like tracking. Also you can directly monitor your oil temp with an oil temp gauge, but you'd have no idea how hot your blower oil is in the V3

IMO the V3 makes things a little simpler during installation and makes it easier to get back to stock status, but that's about it.
