Isn't the standard approach more is better when you haven't got a clue what you're doing? Hell, mount that shit upside down.

I can tell you that designing for, and testing for a 60 deg. steady state angle isn't quite enough, and will still starve on the track.

Krish,

If your car is electric, then the sump inclination would be AC/DC, however, most IC engined sumps are inclined straight, but a number may be gay.
