Default Dry sump benifits

I am aware of the standard benifits by going with a dry sump system. My question is, does it tend to make a bigger difference depending on the stroke of the engine at the saem rpm range (6000 rpm). 3.622 vs 4.125 LSX block specifically.

BBC have a real hard time just living without a dry sump or real good pan and 4.5" stroke cranks. Surface bearing speeds are high and any air getting in the system seems to cause issues.

I'm not an expert by any means but that would depend on the oil pan you are able to run in your chassis. If you can run a deep pan and aren't running cornering with high grip tires (slicks) then you shouldn't need a dry sump. There are several companies out there that make baffles like http://www.improvedracing.com/baffle...ffle-p-30.html

Dry sump systems allow better oil control, Greater chassis clearance/ground clearance, More capacity, filtration/ cooler oil.
