That's going to be the tally for drysumping my 95
I'm really wondering if it will be worth it. This is NOT a dedicated race car. Autox/HPDE/street car |

I've read about those systems before and I really just don't think they are a benefit for anyone who doesn't race / compete.
That would be a waste of $5K for a street car even if it saw light duty racing...in my most humble opinion. |

Brian, save your money for more go-fast stuff.
LT1's don't have oiling issues...no more than any other car, anyway. I'm even starting to go away from recommending accusumps. I've seen enough failures with them that I'm not sure they do much, either. But there's a heck of a lot of difference between $300 and $5k! |

If anything, get a high volume pan.
The only real advantage to drysump is the ability to lower the engine in the car. |

There's more that that but certainly nothing that's applicable to a street car. |

Looking at the news reports on the NE I hope you have a dry house. We had our once in 500 yr rains last fall and still have some bridges and roads impassable and entire neighborhoods with destroyed and abandoned homes, businesses, and even a school. Hope this one is sparing you Brian.
