Default Nascar engine dry sumps and crankcase vents
I have a similar setup to what you mention, but have modified the engine for the road and mainly track, comp ratio 10.3, this engine is sealed dry sumped, and has coated racing pistons with thinner rings but running normal tension. I have well over 600bhp at 6800rpms out of this 373, plus 525ft Ibs torque, so wheel spin will be the biggest problem.

My inlet valley has a removable plate with -10an size bung and as I am not running Nascar and 8500rpms, I will route a breather hose to the puke tank. On the engineers forum a guy had a lot of trouble with leaks etc until he ran a breather for semi serious fun and racing.
