DRE makes a good product, but it was a cost decision. Since I'm an engine guy I've set up my car for 4 totally different engine combinations. Dodge B1-TS with dry sump, Basic BB Chevy, Basic SBC, and a splayed valve V-6 with external oil pump. I would have had to spend a fortune on Diapers just to "play" with these different combinations. The Pan also plays a part in the aero package I've built into the car. When I get back to racing I will have a car that I can study what happens with different power combinations and play with different things on the track. That is part of what makes it fun...
Thanks for the info.
