 Jon,

If you are only on the street, a 2qt should be OK.  If racing, go with the 3qt.

Do not get a manual turn-on valve !  Get one with a solenoid, and:
  1. Wire it to your Ignition Switch.  This way, you will have excess oil in sump while driving in the city, after the Engine gets hot.
  2. Wire to a manual switch.  Turn on during agressive driving, and leave it off for street. 
My vote is for #2.  This way you have full control without overfill of the sump.

In either method, when starting, turn Ignition Switch (or remote switch) on for 10 seconds, and the unit will prime the engine to full oil pressure before running.  Don't forget to rev the engine after driving and prior to shut-down to charge the Accusump to full oil and pressure.
