So yes, odds are that an off-the-shelf system (or one you're prepared to make a serious investment of time to engineer on your own) probably wouldn't cause you any issues. It just doesn't actually prevent any for you specifically either.

I am not saying a dry sump is not overkill because it is but how are you guys making these points without even knowing the mods of my car? It has been asked what i am using this car but not what i have. So for you to say one of these systems is completely useless and would not prevent anything that might happen is wrong. Like i said maybe a drysump system is overkill but having the safety of an accusump could be the difference of spinning a bearing or not. I have a 2.65 stroker, ported heads, oversized valves, 280 cams, and a 40r. Knowing i am going to have some lag i want to make up for it on the back end. If i could rev between 8400-9k rpms it would make a whole lot of difference than going to 8k rpms. Can a 12mm pump handle this? from the research i have done, speaking with my tuner, and posting on other sites the anwser i get is basically "maybe". I am not saying you guys dont know what your talking about because i know thats not the case, but my idea has been smothered by negativity or people posting when not knowing the facts.
You can come back and write a book about how you are right and i am wrong or you can help me answer some of the question i have. What is it going to take, should i spend the least amount and go with accusump or just go for something that is going to be better but more expensive. To many times do i get on here and watch threads go down the drain from arguing about things that dont need to be argued about. with that said i dont want this to end up being one of those threads. I just want help from people who are going to be supportive and get some facts before rambling on and on and on.
