Default any other dry sump options besides LS7 and ARE?

With my suspension set at the proper height, I have a whopping 2" of ground clearance at the oil pan.

I'm not looking for the ultimate race setup, just more ground clearance.

From what I gather, the ARE system will run over 2K (just looking at the parts on their site. They haven't responded to my email)

you could look into the system they used on the ASA engines. i know they used Razor scavenge pumps but not sure who made the pans. maybe Kevco pans?

Thanks. I talked to the folks at Razor today. Very helpful. I'll also look for some used ASA stuff.

Please post your results when you get it sorted out. I'm sure others are wondering the same thing.

Man, that looks great. I'm afraid to ask how much they cost.

I really like the pump integrated into the oil pan.

Don't quote me on this, but I think they are about $3400 with a 4 stage intergal pump mounted to the pan. Pretty sweet setup, but mucho deniro.

It would be nice if someone made like a "street" dry sump version that is a little more affordable. My car is going to have ground clearance issues also, but it's only going to see a road course a hand full of times a year.

Yep, my problem exactly

Somehow, I'm having trouble justifying 3 grand for a pan and pump when I paid 4500 for the whole engine, tranny, electrical, etc...

I'm hoping to find a used ASA setup as 5.3 racer posted above.

I dunno', looks like it might interfere with the air conditioning pump.

Not with our new accessory system it won't. You can finally have A/C and dry sump.
