    In my opinion a dry sump is far better than a wet sump. Especially because in a funny car the ground clearance forces you to run a shallow pan that does not hold enough oil. Some people may argue this. Steve Plueger makes a great system for a funny car. You can get a pump and mandrel bent stainless lines that plum it really neatly in a funny car. I think he has the best system. Are far as pans are concerned I make them (JLP) however I'm not sure if I can say that on this message board.

    I thought your message said funny car, but the same goes for a dragster even though you can run a deeper pan and most guys run a wet sump, I still like a drysump better no matter what.
