My worry is that while you still have an extra 2qt or so in the accusump the relative volume of oil in the system stays pretty close to stock without an additional sump. I always thought of more oil as additional cooling capacity with an extra sump, even the thin ones, and all that oil circulates through the system. With the accusump the big question is how much and how often does the piston move, and does the oil in the sump circulate through the system. I know the obvious benefit of running the accusump is to compensate for a dry pick-up but I've always been concerned about temps. I guess it's not an issue if you run a cooler but it's just food for thought. If temps aren't an issue I'll drop my sumps in a heartbeat and replace them with accusumps.
