Whats your justification for drysump. Expect to spend about 3k+ by the time its done.

Meh, they can be done a little bit cheaper if you go with the LS7 stuff. I'll have a little under 2k in my LS7 dry sump setup including the crank. Aftermarket dry sump setups are insanely expensive on the other hand.

Sig said he had a forged 346 so his bottom end is done and I dont think he wants to change. At this point it would cost more to change the crank and to get the LS7 stuff than to go with a true drysump.
