smartest thing i've heard in a long time.

i set up my 9.5 windsor dart block with dry sump system. the system is now sealed with appropriate seals and pulls vacuum. don't know exactly how much or hp gains, but motor sounds different. this is with low tension oil rings and normal top rings. ran it initially as an open system. dry sump is nice if you can get over the cost and everything works as planned. i'd budget at least $2500 for aftermarket system, by the time you get all the hoses etc. would i do it again, yes, i think the advantages outweigh the work involved. you can also gain ground clearance. as scott has done, this would be the way i would do it if done again and work out all the modifications. mine has an avaid pump, and i don't know if i'd use it again, it was doable though with their brackets, didn't research others.
