I'm with Ron, it seems like a lot of expense and effort for no REAL gain in performance. This isn't Nascar guys. Sure you save a few lbs on the front end but you are adding more than a few to the overall. Also, your adding capacity and that means you really need more pump. Mike Maier is running a Nascar Nationwide engine. They likely have the dry sump in some low perfect place and an oil pump that would bilge the titanic.

Chris, I have to diagree with you on the similarity on the accumulator. It's a lot different in my mind.

Todd, I think Mike actually has the dry sump in the trunk of his car now. I think I spied it there over the weekend at Del Mar.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
