Actually dry sump systems use multi chamber belt driven pumps. That is they have three or for pumps in one unit.
Typically two chambers are used for sump scavanging purposes. One chamber is used to feed the motor. And if there is a fourth chamber (V8 supercar teams use 4), it is most often used as a crank case vacuum pump. |

The website for it is www.frictech.com |
While I have no experience with Militec, I have heard good reports from other drag racers who have used it. |

We use Penrite and several other drag racers I know use Penrite too. I haven't spoken to any others about what they use.
We buy HPR50 in 20 litre drums.

Cool, thanx for the advice guys.
I think I'll start using Penrite. The previous owner was using Mobil I think. |

I'm getting the car tuned by an expert here in Brisbane, I'll see what he says, I'm not sure if the car has run Mobil 1 since under 40 thousand, because I am the third owner, I'm sure my mechanic can tell me.
Thanks for that advice Disco Frank  |
