I look at it more as an "insurance" part for your bottom end. Keeping your bottom end parts oiled well. In certain cases without a crankscraper...lets say autocross for example...Hard braking, hard left/right turns cause that oil in the pan to shift from left to right splashing around and could possibly not lubricate a certain area of the bottom end properly. There probably isn't much of a noticeable gain if any.
My understanding is the crankscraper aides in an even lubrication method. I have one and it makes me feel somewhat safer.

yeah, i mean it DOES decrease rotational mass...and especially with our engines so picky about oil and their tendency to starve themselves of it...it IS a good insurnace policy to keep as much oil down and going through the pumps and oiling the necessary parts..instead of sloshing around and slowing the rotating assembly

Exactly. I installed one to feel safer about turning/braking hard, not for a power gain.

Have not installed on yet, but those are the reasons why one should install one.

i love it, although when i installed it i also installed a spec clutch with lightened flywheel and an af/x UDP....so it was a huge difference over just installing a crankscraper im sure.
DEFINATELY noticeable power improvement, as well as fast revving up and down, and with the way i drive...the oil NEEEEEDS to stay in the pan....so oil control is definately a big plus too
everyone should get one, thats what i think

i installed mine after i had my underdrive pulley on for a while and there is definitly a noticeable differnece in how fast the car revs up with it on. it reved much faster.
