Several years ago (after reading an article in Circle Track) I contacted the company that made the composite material that was to be used in the gears. I spoke with one of the engineers. At the time they indicated Comp Cams was going to be the vendor and that the gears were at that time only approved for dry sump application because the composite at that time did not have the strength needed (after R&D) to be used in a wet sump application for anticipated pressures in a race engine. Things may have changed by now.
