Reply to "Building a faux cam Carrera track car"

Thanks Stan ! You gave a well worded easy to understand answer. You are right I would think anyone with a high dollar engine would have one of these things but I have only seen one of them in use. The dry sumps are a must for hard road course driving. I had a couple track experiences with loss of oil pressure during long hard turns and having valve covers flooded with oil and also oil coming from unfamiliar places on the engine. Things I wasn't prepared for or understood well. I can see how a dry sumped engine is the way to go. The new vette's have dry sumped engines. I cant wait to see more of those on the streets and in the used market 5 or 6 years from now(maybe 10-15 for my budget).
