Dry sump systems have several important advantages over wet sumps:

The oil capacity of a dry sump can be as big as you want. The tank holding the oil can be placed anywhere on the vehicle.

In a wet sump, turning, braking, climbing hills, and acceleration can cause the oil to pool on one side of the engine and uncover the pump's pick-up tube.

Increased engine reliability from the consistent oil pressure provided by the dry sump system is the reason dry sumps were invented.

Excess oil around the crankshaft in a wet sump can get on the shaft and cut horsepower. Some people claim improvements of as much as 15 horsepower by switching to a dry sump.

Not sure what a complete system would cost but if you have alot of money into your engine and are going to be climbing alot of hills Im sure it would be worth it.

CB sells a kit for arround 500.00 with the tank. (I think) You will need a sump tank, a dry sump pump, a dry sump pully, a few fittings and some extra hose. CBs kits are a good set up, The best to go with is a Bugpack dry sump pump, their pump costs arround $250.00 to $300.00 ( the CB pump is $99.00) A kit using the Bugpack pump will cost arround $850.00 to $900.00. It just depends on you application. A dry sump system is used on race cars and is proven to prolong the life of your motor. I hope this helps.
