-the suction intake lowering spacer - the slonik pan includes a second hardware piece---a spacer that lowers the intake tube further down into the deeper pan. No one else is doing that either. (It's the red piece in the pic below.)



The theories in play here are---with the lowering spacer, if you have been dealing with starvation issues, the lower suction tube should help. And the baffles should reduce fluid sloshing under high-G situations.

Gintani and SSP pans hold more fluid than the slonik pan, but that also means the bottoms of the larger pans sit lower to the ground. The slonik pan still fits under the felt cover. It holds 0.8L more fluid than stock.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the great info. It looks like they did their homework. Are you currently running one?
