Well, the only change is the oil pump and front cover in my case, both of which I have. I would have to go purchase an LS7 oil pump and cover, and pump, and even then I'm not sure that it's the setup I would really want to run.
I'm actually trying to be honest with myself about what I really want to do with TOW. I have some cogs turning in my head about what my next project might be, and if I go that route, TOW wouldn't be the one to see serious track time.
That said, I might well still run the Accusump even if I did run a dry-sump, for even more insurance. So if I ever do go that route, I'm not sure I see this as wasted effort at this point...

Everyone, myself included, agrees that I'm giving up some mid-range to use the single plane. I could change some things and use a composite intake and still physically keep the shaker, but I really like having something a little different. And Geoff thinks I can regain most of that torque back with the right cam combination, so I want to try that path for now... Again, the next project will probably take a different path.

I was surprised too the first time I saw the numbers, and the second time. It took me a few days to catch it, and then DOH! Oh well, decision made now.
