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.

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

So basically the opposite.
