Am I right in thinking there's no power gain with a dry-sumped rotary since there's no "parasitic loss"?

I believe the point is to keep the oil pressure at the proper levels, especially while taking turns.

Jarad, I know you went with the drysump on your 20B. Do you think I could come check it out?

Oh yeah of course, sorry I didn't mean it to sound like "why would you do that" - I was just curious

Phil, sure no problem. Shoot me a PM later and I'll give you my cell number and we can set it up.

Haha, I didn't take it like that, I was wanting to check my facts too.

I'm pretty sure dry sump oil pumps take more power to drive than the OEM units..

So basically the opposite.
