I've been throwing the idea into Andrews head but it really isn't needed on the BP.
I hear ya though, if it ain't broke don't fix it right |

So who's going to be the first of us to run a dry sump?

Then there is this:

n00bish off topic question, but: what is the benefit from these "dual plenum" end tanks and intake manifolds? I remember in some thread there was a discussion on this but forget which
|
I'd imagine a better/more even flow distribution across the core (or second plenum in the case of an intake manifold).
Is what twinsturbo fabbed significantly better than just having typical tapered endtanks? I dunno. Looks more trick. Probably something the other turbo vipers don't have which is generally very important to that type of customer. |

where is the expense in dry sump? the pump? i'm thinking used circle track/dirt track pumps... IE: http://www.racingjunk.com/category/1...em.html?page=1
pan is 600ish from are. then u just need adapter to block and a oil can + lines? |
Complete system here:

We typically use 3 stage systems on most cars, a couple of the big Can-Am engines are 4 stage (500+ cid BBC's) and they provide more than adequate oiling. While the systems are expensive, I think a BP would benefit personally. |

Can you think of any engine that wouldn't get /some/ benefit from it? I don't think that's being argued. We're just very very cheap here and proud of it. :)
I know people here can be cheap sometimes and for street driven engines a dry sump makes no sense... but when you spend $4-5k on an engine, then run it as hard on track as a few here do it starts making more sense. While the dry sump system is expensive, you will be saving some money in other areas. No need for billet oil pump gears, accusumps, pan baffling, all of which people spend money on in search of good oil control. |

Actually up further in the thread someone said they didn't think the BP would benefit.

No need for billet oil pump gears, accusumps, pan baffling, all of which people spend money on in search of good oil control. What I meant is that the BP doesn't have oiling issues like some other motors do. For example, LS motors require either an accusump or dry sump for track usage. If you don't have either of these (even with extra baffling added to the pan like this http://www.improvedracing.com/produc...products_id=30), you will have low oil pressure and starve the motor on track in high speed left hand sweepers. The BP does not have a problem with oiling like that; no extra sump baffling or accusump is required to maintain oil pressure on track (with the exception of a split second while braking). That being said, any engine will benefit from having a vacuum in the crankcase and freeing up a little power. |
