I'll probably just install the X51 and sell the spacer. Although now I've spent the $30 to get a oil pick-up extension. Atleast I didn't shell the money for an entire deep sump kit I'm not going to use.
Anyone want to buy a deep sump kit, just opened, not used.

Good question indeed. I had the same question when i was looking at how the x51 pan was designed prior to installing it.
I ended up installing the x51 alone.
Here is my data point: i gained 0.5 of oil pressure on the gauge with the x51 pan alone. Now at 2.5 instead of 2.
Readings taken on the same circuit, same right hand turn, same gear, same speed, same number of laps into the session, same oil.
Hope this helps. Would be great if others can post before/after readings for the spacer setup, with / without x51....

what also helps during long run session is using a 50 weight oil but you should get the increase we both observed regardless...
