Why dont you try for less power and learn how to drive? IE both hands on wheel, racing lines etc? Might break less crap.

I am learning how to drive. Every time I have taken the car out I have gone quicker pretty much since the stroker build. Quicker because of more power, opposed to increase in skill level? Probably. I know what I want & that's a 60:99 or below long track time. I am 2.5 seconds away currently & there is no car I know that can get around Barbs long with the same weight ~ 1180 kg (last time it was on the scales) without 500+ hp. Having less power for me at the moment is not an option.
Whats wrong with the lines I run on?

Pretty common spot for Suby's to suffer fuel surge with anything less than half a tank.

looked into an accusump rather than dry-sump?
Bit of a bandaid but can be useful

I did consider Accusump & dry sump are 2 completely different products. Accusump will hold a specified volume of oil & then if there is a loss in pressure, release the X quantity of oil stored. Sure, in the short term this will help, but as you said its more of a band aid, opposed to a fix.
I decided to go dry sump for more piece of mind & also the other performance benefits, the main one being the vacuum created in the bottom end of the motor, helping with blow by & also getting the oil out of the heads & back down in to the sump. The dry sump allows me to also run a greater oil capacity. Not sure if I have done the right thing with he dry sump or not, but we shall see in a month or so hopefully.

dont disagree, dry sump is the better option for a lot of reasons, just checking you'd explored the alternatives as you only mentioned a momentary oil pressure issue

Yeah, I'm sure that I have done the right thing. I know as I said I will need to be going at X speed (not to be confused with the performance shop that closed down recently) down the straights, & more importantly, X speed around the corners. If I intended to get the time I am aiming for, I will need to be going around corners quicker, which will create the potential for more surge & I would not be wanting to test the limits of the Accusump on the longer right handers, such as Kolbe, which is where I believe I did the damage last time.
There are reports also of power gains from he use of dry sumps. Not sure how true that is?
