Dry sump is of course the ultimate but probably overkill. The rail type pan from Aviad or Armondo as used on the orignals are being made with a central pickup, pan divided into five parts with the pickup in the center and one way doors helping to keep oil in the central sump plus a baffle tray and a 'windage' rail. I run road race tires on the car (all the time) and have no issues with pressure. Now the previous pan was a stock pan with NO baffles. Oil pressure was scary at best. I picked up at least 2" of ground clearence when I switched from my stock front sump pan to the Armondo center sump rail type pan. Couldn't be happier. Seems to me if you want to dry sump later you can still use their pan but verify to be sure.
