unless you are going to race seriously, is no real point or advantage.
but would cost you lots
at least a 3 stage pump, 2 scavenge, 1 pressure
new custom sump and hoses
oil tank and all associated fittings
custom toothed crank pulley and belt,pump mount
and a cooler if wanted
prob a couple grand at least
would be easier to get a decent baffled sump

if you are really worried about oiling baffle the pan and then run an accusump. It will normalize the pressure in the system and will assist in starvation problems during hard cornering. Most production based race cars use this method of helping the oiling system. they then run an oil cooler as well.

I'd worry more about oil temps then anything on our design.

i'm already putting in a thermostacaly controlled cooler, there is someone that makes baffles and windage trays for our cars,i will have to search, and the accusump is an excellent idea,already figuring it in the cooler design. also if you are really worried wrap the exaust down pipe where it almost touches the oil pan in front and on the bottom. dry sumps work,but are a real pain in the ass for a street car, also every time you change the oil,you have to remove the tank and plumbing attached to it,and clean the tank. look athttp://www.pegasusautoracing.com/home.asp and look at some of the dry sump parts prices,also don't forget the braided lines and fittings. working on the link

thanks!! I was going to mention also on the accusump, if you spring for the ignition controlled valve that plumbs between it and the engine, when you first turn on the key, it will open and the oil from the accusump, will prelube your engine, before it ever turns over. this is especially important to the turbo guys, good to have some oil in those turbo bearings before start up.
