Kind of simple.. makes more power more reliable, can put the engine
lower in the car, more stable oil temps, not subject to almost any
g-forces in any direction... An 'accusump' is mostly a band aid in my
humble opinion. I can not think of too many real race cars that use them
but am sure there must be more than one also..
