No need for the titanium bell housing. Pan evac would be legal. Vac pumps, not. I'm saying the high end pump setups are rather expensive. Don't worry. None of this will ever happen, but I go back to my original point. Why would anyone care, especially when it involves no one else's class? Mind boggling!

Actually you can run a dry sump in SS of course it's not allowed in most but the X cars can. And again are any of the SS guys running the 7000 dollar clutches now? None that I know of, don;t think titanium cans are allowed now in SS, vac pumps are not allowed now in conventional SS....so I'm still not seeing the savings. And for Dicks response...I've never complained about the cost of a motor, you build what you can afford...if the fast guys are spending 35-50K on an engine then you either pay up, work the ladder, or change classes. There will always be someone who thinks "His index is too soft" "costs are out of control" "engines are too expensive" "this guy can out spend me" on and on it goes. Look around...some folks are pulling in with 500,000-600,000 dollar RIGS! Do you honestly think they can't pay their way into being fast? However does that mean that they WILL win...last I checked you can pull in with a pickup and open trailer and wear them out.
