As you no doubt have heard, there have been many engines lost even with Comp Coupe Systems installed. Reasons:

-The Comp Coupe Pan's pickup sits too far forward in the pan, making starvation under acceleration possible.

-The swing arm only swings towards the passenger side of the pan, in effect solving one issue, and not fixing the next in line. (while also creating the above issue)

-They are limited by the OEM Pan Baffle system, which was never intended for use with the Swing Arms, and in fact some of the baffling needs to be removed for the swing arm itself to be installed. The new pan is specifically designed and optimized for use with a swinging pickup.

-The Comp Coupe Pan's sump area is not sealed, allowing oil to slosh out from this area under hard manuevers away from the pickup where it is supposed to be.
