My buddy Wade has one on his buggy . the v8 CD. it's a killer concept. I know on some long LONG hills like left side of the wall in blairsville you sometimes loose oil pressure .It's long and STEEP

I've been running one for 3-4 years now, and I haven't even seen so much as a flicker from my oil light. I would mount it where you can reach it from your seat so you can shut it off or open it up when you start or shut off your buggy. You will never "dry start" your motor again! I would't have a buggy with out one.

I got mine all hooked up but I think I got a switch that is for too much oil pressure,,I ordered a lower pressure switch.....and up'd my idle too. but on high idle and wide open climbing it dumps fine...I am wondering if my oil pressure is too low and if I need to use more lucas?
