I recall a discussion a while ago about a remote oil tank. I am as usual trying to put 10lbs of poo in a 5lb sack. I don't want to use a dry sump for weight and complexity reasons. How far below the oil pump inlet flange do you  guys think I could locate the oil level before I start to have problems with foaming.
 
Ed, how long is the pickup tube for your tank and how far is the oil level below your pump inlet?
 
Thanks,
 
Monty
