I'd like to point-out that you can gain significant HP with a dry-sump if
you are brave enough (or desperate enough!) to run it electric-drive, on a
total-loss system.  Of course, the engine reliability gains can go away in a
hurry, if you hit a "bad luck" day!

The question ought tobe how much more reliable will it make my engine.. the
answer an order of magnitude at least. The other question i would have is
how
hard do you spin it. The higher the rpm the more you need one, same goes for
hp
ratings as well.
