It drives off the cam and the oil isn't foamy at all. Didn't seem to do it on the dyno.

The amount of the time it was on the dyno it didn't show any concerns, however I don't think the dyno time was equivalent to 25 laps which is when we find the loss of oil.

I will check the oil pan for possible suction issues from the pick ups, thanks.
