Dry sump? wet sump? which to go with? I'm unsure of which way to go with this- my finalized engine will be:
300+CFM heads
Forged pistons/crank (stock spec)
LS6 intake
Custom cam (still researching brands)
Hooker headers.
I'm hoping for around 420HP/400tq when all is said and done- does the kind of sump really make a difference in my engine? possible in 2 years or so I might be going F/I with a turbo if that makes any difference too.

I'm asking now 'cause of a dry sump that's for sale at OT- I figured if that's the way I SHOULD go, I'll grab this now while I have the chance. if I SHOULD/NEED to go wet, I'll just wait on it. 
Dry sump will give more longevity, better power, but I don't know if the cost would warrant it for a street strip car. You will easily have $2K in a dry sump system.. . .justifiable for competition but I don't know for a street car.
