Dry sump free up about 15hp.. hummm and have a better oil system (as long as you hook it up correctly).. i dont know ide say its worth it! Plus then you can safely run and oil cooler to help protect your engine, with a steady psi of oil pressure.

The for that IM that I PMed ya about.

Transformed its quite a bit of time and money to set up a dry sump system, custom oil pan or at least descent mods to the stock one, not to mention the pump alone probably costs $700+ alone. Then you have the tank, plumbing, add a custom gilmer drive gear and belt. And then your still not even close to being done.Im not saying its not a a cool idea but probably $2K+ for your 15hp and changing something that already works damn good. Nah def not worth it. Use good oil, add a pound or two of boost and call it a day, you can still put a nice oil cooler setup on the stock config.
