So I've been looking into the short shifting and I believe it goes back to the way the oil pump works.
Given its a positive displacement pump and flow rises linearly with RPM, at the high end of the RPM it will push out predictably more flow and thus your oil pan will be at the lowest level at steady state. Throw in some lateral G's and now you have no return and voila, instant oil pressure loss.
When you short shift and AVOID the highest oil flow rates, you keep that oil level higher.
This goes back and validates Ping and my concern is that the oil pan is too sm0l.
Cross your fingers for part 2 and I don't blow an engine!
