Well, you can't just leave it at that, detail out how I'm wrong! Please tell me more so that I can be smarter! Ahh, just figured it out with a tiny bit of thinking. 1G side track load has DUAL forces left or right as well as Down. So to duplicate it, (as far as oil movement simulation specifically) you cant go all the way over..... Got it.
Perfect example of actual internet HELP! Thanks for making my caffeine work for me Tedro!
A little more searching gives me the intense scenario I thought I would see. It's a Porsche engine video. Imagine that.
Now imagine just how far UP the motor your oil goes with that kind of lateral force. Makes the oiling issue a little clearer. The video is almost comical with the extreme angles.

So the dry sump system reduces the effects from lateral....centrifugal.....forces on the oil???? Is that what I am getting from what you guys are refering to......in a general statement....ish????? related to starvation.

I wonder how well my boxed in, trap door sump will do (boxed in all 4 sides and the top with 4 trap doors on each side) in the new chassis. So far no problems but the G forces are gonna go up. Now I'm a little concerned

A pump (either internal or external) pumps the oil from the oil pan up to the holding tank.
That's the main difference.
As long as you can keep the sump covered in oil you're ok. If it hits air... not so ok. That's why we build boxes with traps doors and lids over the sump pickup (so that oil can't flow away from the pickup under high G forces).
