Dry Sump
The Pond, Shelby and Genesis can all be made to work with a dry sump set up. You can also run an external oil pump and still have the engine a wet sump. We have worked with Billet Fabrication and Titan oil pans on some nice stuff as well as Charlies oil pans on some of the Super Stock engine which have to be wet sump.
We run dry sump stuff on our circle track Dirt Late Model because of the rpms and the way the car is slung around the track. Because of the length of the races, RPM and HP of the engine this is also the only way to get the oil to run cool enough. We use an external oil cooler to help with this as well.
In most Cobra applications unless it was all out road racing a good wet sump oil pan and pump with the oil cooler works pretty good.
You have several differnet pumps and tanks that you can choose from for your engine. Good luck, Keith Craft
