What hose are you using between the valley cover and the dry sump/vacuum side pump?

Nice looking set-up
What fitting are you using to tap into the oil galley above the normal filter locations. I am going to run a Accusump and wanted to tap into the same port.

Looks killer. What vacum pump is that, as I wanted to put one of those on my sled, that one looks like it bolts up pretty easy, and can you run a single -10 line to the pump, or do you need 2 feeds?

I like the oil filter relocation too, that's sweet. Any reason you put it up on the motor and not on the framerail/etc, or is it just there for now?

Definately looks like you're aiming for an 8 second n/a setup... you're going all out! Can't wait to see the results!

The vacuum pump is actually an external oil pump with built in vacuum. Not sure on single -10. The oil filter is just there for dyno. I'm trying not to have too many expectations on power or times to keep from being disappointed, but hoping for 8's n/a.

why did you decide to go to the valley cover with the vacuum lines instead of on the valve covers in place of the breathers -tony-

My engine builder said that you suck more oil from the valve covers than the valley.

Especially with an ls motor, the valley is alot drier.

However, you can still run the vacum pump off the valve covers, just have to keep the vacum a little lower.
