Longevity is much more important in closed circuit race, vs trying to gain every ounce of HP available. Ideally a dry sump system allows you to keep as much oil as possible off the rotating parts lending to less parasitic losses, while keeping the oiling system full of low aerated oil.
Not all classes or forms of racing allow dry sumps, but if you can use one, it's the best way I've seen to free up some HP while still keeping all the internal parts well lubricated.
Everyone thinks it's to expensive to worry about using a dry sump system, but compared to blowing an engine, it's cheap insurance.........  |
I've wondered about using an Accusump for this kind of situation...has anyone used one in a Pontiac?
