No dry sump unless the motor makes more than 1000hp? That sounds like a really stupid rule you made up there.



Looking forward to the report on the dry sump. My bet is the gains will start small at 4500 to 5500 rpm, and be very substantial by 6500, awsome by 7500.
One thing a dry sump will always have over any wet pan, oil control on the launch. Even the best wet pans have to lose some hp to windage in the first few feet due to extreme G forces at work. The faster the car, the worse it would be. No dyno can show that. It would be great to do back to back track tests to see how much of a difference there would be in each segment of the run.
