What do you guys know about EFI and dry sump oiling?
I want to be able to do "high angle" driving :shock:
Do i need dry sump oiling for that?
Would eliminating float bowls help in extreme angle situations?
What other mods do I need to do to keep it alive?
Thanks for sharing

Yes and Yes! For extreme vertical situations, a dry sump is a must. As far as EFI. i have it and like it but I have seen some people get very verticle with carbs and still kick ass. I know Roy has had both and I think he really likes the EFI.

I am not ready to spend the money on EFI yet but from what I have seen it is worth it. I have not had a problem with my carbs on hills either. Hope I don't.

What type of dry sump system would be OK? The only one (pump) I have seen is the C.B pump :?

CB pumps/tanks are all we use here.
Need to use a modified power pulley or a dry sump serpentine system like Dave and Steve have.
Normal pulley won't clear the pump.

The carb is not the problem.
It's all the oil getting away from the pickup and starving the bearings.
