Default Camaro X Oil Reservoir

Can anyone tell me what Mark Stielow used in his Camaro x for the Dry sump reservoir? It looks like he used an aftermarket one and I was wondering why he didn't use the GM one!

I liked to know this too. And what kind of oilpan it has? Does the stock LS7 work with stock steering gear? And is there any heat issues with ATS headers ?? https://lateral-g.net/stielow/16.jpg it looks the plug boot is quite close?

It's a Peterson 8 quart tank and a Peterson remote breather mounted alongside. The pan is from ATS.

EDIT, the headers aren't that close. That's just an optical illusion from the angle that I took that picture at. Here's another pic of the ATS headers:

Thanks Scott!!! Do you have any photos of the sump setup? Why did he have to change the pan? Was it not compatible with the sump setup? Was there a performance gain in his going with the Peterson can and breather?

Yes thanks Scott for update. I think the sump was because of stock steering system. I wonder why Mark didnt use front R&P kit like BRP has?? And yes if you can Steve,let us know why not stock gm dry sump tank and brather??

I'm sure Mark had several reasons for not using the stock tank, but one thing he specifically mentioned was packaging. I don't recall off hand how tall the stock tank is.
