Default 2 sets of tires

vxurazz J there are a couple of things you can do to have both the car for track and street. The easiest is 2 sets of tires. 15" tall tires for the street with a higher side wall size like a 70 or 78 series. For the track you are looking at 17"-18" tires with a 35 series side wall. This will raise and lower the car about 2". That should clear any high center street in your town. If you wan the car to really handle better, you will be changing the spring and shock package also. I guess the dry sump thing has been answered. Avivad sells a complete system for the small and big block ford motors. You can get brackets, pumps,tanks, pans, and breathers for your car. They just started maken the correct looking tank that goes in the R/S fender area with the filling cap coming through the body. You may also need an vacuum pump when you go dry sump to get the most out of the system. You need about 8-10 psi vacuum in the motor. With the dry system you will get about another 20-30 HP. The motor will be better oil supplied for high G turns. Rick L. Ps If you don't mind the wet sump system, add a accusump to the oiling system with a 3 quart tank. This will maintain oil pressure on high G turns and work as a per oiler before starting the motor every time. 80% of motor wear is at startup. I run this added system on my car. Has saved the motor twice with rocker failures.
