Sizzler,

Nice summary. The NASCAR boys run a dry sump the "old fashioned way", and for that app, I must say it is well integrated into the "car". It takes 40 minutes to pre-heat the oil in an old '94 era Cup Car I am familier with, so certainly not meant for casual users. Although I am sure the belt guys are holding back as much as the light bulb makers in technology, I would not worry about a belt failure as a reason not to install one. Main concern in a Cobra is space for all this but the space is there with some sacrifices.
