You make a really good point regarding stress.We talkn OPG/TG, seatbelts or condoms here?
Either way, the cost of failure is stress and way more money than cost of protection.

I tracked a Whippled 15 and switched to GT350 pan and pump housing. Even w forged OPG, the evidence of wear during high G oil starve events was damning and I was lucky. No way would I road course without TG/OPG.
FORGED TG is $50 FRPP, get TSS OPG , GT350 pump is cheap, GT350 pan is $130 shipped.
I don’t honestly know that I could enjoy revving a blown engine to 8k on a semi regular basis, always wondering if THIS is going to be the one that kills the gears... is THIS going to be the one that costs me an engine?
Of course, OPG isn’t the only thing that “could” go wrong but when it’s front and centre in your mind as a higher than average probability (vs rod failure for example) it would really take the fun factor out of it.
Each to their own but I prefer to take measures where practical.
Not sure that I’d do it at some of the prices being thrown around here though.
