Yeah I was very close to pulling the trigger on a system but a couple things changed my mind. Most of the nice pans I was looking at were too deep for my stock sub. So likely in the future there will be a different chassis under this car (more like a 3 year plan) and a new motor with dry sump. I made sacrifices for power (compression) and oiling (dry sump) on this motor, but I plan on phase 3 in maybe 3 years being a high compression dry sump Nascar type motor, something like Maier's Roush Yates Nationwide motor. But that's later... but I do consider where I think I'll be in 3 years to help make decisions today.
I definitely was liking the added hp of the dry sump as well. I estimated 20-30 hp over a wet sump based on my research.
Is your FE dry sump?
