When does a dry sump become necessary?

[Bill71]

All I have at this point is the car which I bought as a shell. I have restored the body, added the wheels and tires (NT01s) and cage. I have no idea if it will exceed 1G or not. I was planning to use a trap door pan. Maybe the Accusump will be sufficient.

I have very little knowledge or experience, however I used a Champ Road Race pan on my engine. Have done a couple of the Run to the Coast events, and watched my pressure thru a few corners, and the pressure never budged. They have trap doors and holds 8 quarts.

Based on what you have told us, for your setup (2nd gen, 275 series NT01 tires) I would not say you will be outhandling C6 Vettes with Hoosiers unless there is more to the story. Some of those guys are having problems with sustained high-G corners but not all of them.

I am a big fan and advocate of dry sump, but it is expensive and would not do it unless I deemed it absolutely necessary.

I think you would be fine with the accusump.

Until it blows up (hey, Ron said it first).

Maybe you could use this?

Would this be an LSx or a SBC?
