Default Re: The next power levels for a stock cid n/a motor?

Bob,don't give me any ideas.

Since we're on the subject,what kind of power gain are we talking about.
Just in case i get bored over winter.

From what I've read on the subject it is pretty typical to pick up 10-15hp going from a wet sump to a dry sump on a SBC. Someone like Mr. Behan might have an answer more specific to the LT-5. I want to say Fastlane had a dry sump on his car - can't remember for sure though.

Hopefully someone using a dry sump system will post their experiences with them on here.

Also not mentioned so far was underdrive pulleys.

Well i found out if i wanna do dry sump it's not cost effecrive for the power gains,it would be cheaper to install a Morose vacuum pump for almost the same gains.

I never done a before and after test with the UD pullies but i would think there is some gain also they are about 1/3 the weight of stock units
you get 3 benefits
(1)underdrive
(2)rotational weight
(3)dead weight
