Should this be in the race section...?

I want to run my '73 on the road course. That means, high G cornering and extended higher RPMs. So, naturally, I want to do whatever I can to put the best oiling system in it possible.

I have a roadrace oil pan. I also have a crank scraper and a Canton windage tray. Should I run both the scraper and the tray, or just one or the other? I've heard arguments for each configuration and in my last engine I had both the scraper and tray installed and didn't have any oiling issues, but the car was only driven on the street and at the drag strip.

Other planned mods:

- Tap feed and return holes in block to the oil filter adapter for AN fittings and run a big remote filter.
- Run an oil accumulator.
- Match oil pump outlet hole to block inlet hole.
- Shim relief spring in pump 1/8"
- Match oil feed holes in main bearings to holes in block.

What else makes sense? Oil cooler? Above what oil temps does a cooler become beneficial?

Lifter feed restrictors? I'll probably be running a solid roller so that may not be the best idea for lifter wheel longevity. Maybe restricted pushrods? I know oil is important for cooling the valvetrain so not sure about restricting the feed to the top end.

Any other suggestions appreciated.
