What was the total cost of the dry sump system? How much oil does it hold?

Default dry sump pump bodies and pan 2.5k$/12aan hoses, braided and heat shielded 1k$/Tank and heater 650$/

Misc about 2-300$. Greatly improves weight dist. along with other relocations. I felt it was absolutely necessary given the extensive work in the engine, plans for track days, and the increased safety and performance. No more spun bearings for me!

Holds 3 Gallons in tank, maybe a quart in each line and a little in each of 3 filters. Keeps oil in great condition. Addition of tank heater allows me to heat oil before starting to cook off contaminants as well as get full flow immediately on startup.

Cable weight is a lot more than that if you use 00 cable, like about 20 or more lbs.
