Dry Sump Pan on the way, just a couple questions I just ordered the Corvette dry sump pan from www.drysump.com and I need to make sure I get this thing set up correctly.
First I am using a three stage Barnes Pump (2 scavenge 1 pressure) which I will be driving with gilmer drive pulleys and belt. My car will be street driven and I want to be comfortable that at idle, the pump will be turning fast enough to keep enough oil pressure in the engine. The only other belt driven accessory will be the alternator.
You can specify a 28 or 32 tooth pulley with the pump, so I would think the 28 tooth would be better as it would turn the pump faster. I don't know what crank pulley sizes are available.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
