RE: Dry sump

       The dry sump pump is doing more than getting oil to the bearings. 
Vaccuum pumps require HP also. Do you have any idea what the net HP gain on a 
304 CID 9000 RPM motor would be.

Not sure if were both on the same page but the dry sump system wants a minimum 
amount of vacuum as well as the pressure oiling. I expect to run about 17 to 
20 vacuum on my V6. Some NASCAR builders run well above 24 (till they suck 
the oil through the valves).
