Looks great! As for the dry sump, that is only needed if you track the car. Wet sump should be fine for street use.

it has been a long time since I first posted this thread. The owner of the car has been driving it around to break it in, and we were taking care of a few loose ends in the mean time. Finally took it to LMR here in Houston to be dyno tuned:

That's a lot of power on 93.
Do you plan on setting up for E85 or C16 too?
