I saw the cars at SEMA and I think most were converted to wet sump. Street and Performance has dry sump but they put the oil tank in the rear corner of the car. That is a long way to pump oil from especially under acceleration. They also are using a square oil tank which will probably cause air bubble problems. It needs to be a round tank like GM uses or a Petersen tank. You also need a good fuel system. The LS9 uses a 100 psi pump. Most of the cars at SEMA have fuel delivery issues because hey are using the usual EFI pumps that only make about 60 psi. They are amazing engines.
