Well, first off, with the new motor coming in soon, I'm thinking of having it a dry sump engine. With wide slicks and the suspension work, I will definently see over 1G of lateral loading, and even with the Canton oil pan/Accusump setup, it may not be adequate enough properly oil the engine while going through the turns. And I certainly don't want to have to rebuild a brand new engine anytime soon.
Cost is a bit of an issue, so I would like to know what your take is on it as far as cost vs need.
Secondly, jumping to the rear end, it seems my only option is to go with a 12 bolt, adopting an 8.8 to my needs will cost just as much as a new 12 bolt. The biggest factor is the differential, I cannot find any decent differentials for a 12 bolt that would be good for use on track days. Found a Quaife for a 9" rear which is another alternative, but I'd rather avoid that, and the $1200 differential price tag.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
