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. |

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 Pete
