dry sump / wet sump ?

what is the differnce in weight between the 2 systems ?

How many stages?

i would like to do a 5 stage with my hp goals

No need for a dry sump for 335hp

i think i've read 35lbs. somewhere. the tank,lines,and more oil. i thought about it for mine but i just dont see it in a 1/8 mile car like mine.little extra weight is fo sho the only con.does the dry sump need a vac pump?

so you are doing a wet sump on the 605 ?

Yeah, about 35 pounds on mine.

what about a vac pump Curt? you run one or does it need it?

I know we are not up there with your cubic inches but our little sb turd is wet sump with a peterson external pump and a vacuum pump.

I'm not running one. When Bob dyno'd it, he didn't seal off the breathers and it still pulled vacuum, so I'm thinking it will do quite well with the sealed valve covers.

i was'nt sure,i've never ran a drysump.if you dont need a vac pump with a drysump then thats a plus on weight and $$ too.another + for the drysump.

i think Fabio has that setup too,also a good idea.

Bob did a great job shoe horning. It was a tight fit, and he sized it up from 800 miles away.

K.Y. , green oil and methanol approved.

My 641 made 7" at idle, 1-2" at 7500 on methanol with only the drysump. When we hooked up the dyno room vacuum pump, it went to 21" at idle and 18" at 7500. It picked up 18 hp. I will also say that my engine made 1134 hp the day before with no vacuum because of a severe leak. We tracked down the leak, fixed it and started the engine. Vacuum came up to 7" at idle. On the first hit that day with no other changes, it made 1160 hp. So it was either sealed up better after the first day of running or the drysump pulling that little bit of vacuum helped it. I don't know. Probably a little of both.
