Hey Isaac do you think a street port non turbo motor is powerful enough for decent drifting? Also you didn't mention a windage tray. Don't you feel it's dangerous to your motor without ?

In a light FB chassis a healthy SP motor is just fine, be prepared to constantly wind it out though. Windage tray is a misnomer for a rotary, there are no "windage" losses. If you mean plating to prevent oil slosh, I have never had a problem using stock oil pans, and the FB pans are fairly narrow and deep with the pickup right in the bottom. IMO if you are going to mess with the oil pan do it to mount a thicker plate there to decrease flex.

If you don't know what an LSD is, you aren't going to be drifting like that.
