Didn't one of our guys here work with Milodon on developing that pan? A Cali. Fella IIRC. Barracuda owner…
Yup, autoxcuda worked with Milodon on developing that pan. The thread on it is
here
It's a beautiful pan, I have one for my Challenger for the 340 going in it, and you'd be hard pressed to come up with a better pan for autocross or road courses for our cars.
That said, it also isn't exactly a "on a budget" kind of pan, it'll set you back almost $500 for pan and pickup. Which is why I mentioned the Kevko. It's not even close to being in the same league as the Milodon, but it also costs about half of what the Milodon costs, and beats the crap out of running a stock pan. For a dedicated racer the Milodon is the only way to go, but the Kevko is definitely a step up over stock for a car that will see more than just weekend cruiser duty.
what filter do you recommend i run? something bigger than stock right? also oil recommendation? i've used amsoil z-rod 10w 30 in the past but what should i break it in on?
If you're running headers you're not going to be able to find a "bigger" oil filter to run unless you relocate it. Bigger isn't really what you need anyway, just buy quality filters.
Oil recommendations will run the gamut, everyone has their preference. If you've got a flat tappet cam, just make sure that whatever you pick has zinc in it, most oils don't anymore.
