I have one question: why do you need a dry sump?

To put it simply, if you don't really need one, and are just building this for kicks, you won't have any idea if the setup you've got is actually working any better than the stock configuration.

My guess is you don't actually need a dry sump. I've had oil starvation issues on my car (a hybrid block plus 1.5 lateral G's will pump oil into the heads and out the breathers) and I fixed my issue with just a larger oil pan (Cosworth) and windage tray and better routing of my oil cooler and remote filter to reduce 90deg fittings.

IMO, the only cars that really *need* a dry sump are cars that are being jumped (i.e. rally) and cars that are seeing extended periods of high G's over long race sessions, i.e. endurance race cars. I don't think even Time Attack cars really need them since they're usually only doing 1 or 2 hot laps in succession, after which they can take an 80% lap to cool down, so even if they're a little thin on oil, they're not going to overheat the way an race car that's fighting nearly every lap will. And drag cars should be fine with just an accusump at most.
