Plus synthetic oil is much more resistant to coking.

Can someone enlighten me on why there is a need for such device? Why would there be oil starvation in the first place?

Lateral acceleration forces push the oil away from the pickup arm, and of course, during startup.

I think that was a comment to you about the other guys post, not yours.

I received the parts last week and await install. I'm having an oil cooler installed shortly so I will probably wait and do it all at once. The unit can be installed into an oil cooler line ( w/ "T" AN fitting) or directly into engine's oil galley. I will be running it into an oil cooler.
I purchased the following:

1- 3qt oil accumulator ( 16' x 4 1/4'' long) @ $169
1- Electric Pressure Control Valve @ $150
1- pair of clamps @ $17
1- Check Valve @ $23

In order to complete you will need:

Oil sandwich plate adaptor
SS braided hose
AN fittings

I will post my results ASAP.
