That's where you connect a BlackHawk series II compressor to the oil pan. You connect to where the old oil temp switch was for the Cold Start System. The manual shows how to block off all passages that might leak. The compressor is rated at 6086scfm. You have to use it sparingly though or the pan gasket will blow on you. I saw one on SpeedVision last week. Or I was on speed one. Things are a little foggy in my mind since last week. I think I saw one on E-Bay for $9.99 plus tax yesterday. Hurry! He only had two left.

HAILERS, you are again spouting fountains of misinformation. Everyone knows that you can't do that trick unless you rotate your halogen fluid so that it bathes the muffer bearings. You'll overload the sunroof. Jees.

Yeah, it's called a dry sump, and it'll cost you over $2,000 to install.
