Tue, 22 July 2003 13:37 While dry sump pumps do require a few extra hp to drive over your standard oil pumps, they do stop the parasitic drag caused by the oil cloud that hangs around the crankshaft in a non dry sumped engine. Most guys I've talked to reckon they actually net a few hp gain with the dry sump system over a wet sump. Not that you would go and spend that kind of money just for a 2 or 3 hp gain, they do it for engine longevity. As far as doing it cheaper, I do know at least one person who has made his own dry sump pump using the oil pump gears (and housings - I think) from an old Holden V8.
