I'm thinking of going the dry sump way cause its safe. but idk...let me know what you think and of any personal experiance's?

Are you talking about a dry-sump oil system for the engine? This is the FI forum and was just wondering so we can answer your question correctly.

I am in the process of doing a compartmentalized drysump, it is a pretty expensive proposition, but it is the best oiling system you can run if you are building serious power. For a street car, many consider it overkill, but it is a bit like insurance. Most bearing related failures are due to oiling issues. Not to mention, if you set the system up right, there is potential for both pre and post lubing.
