I've have one of his D.R.C. drysump aluminum pans. I can tell you that the fabrication is high quality.

so scott, is that a dry sump in your cobra? have any pics? which pump. thanks.

The Cobra will go back together with a Barnes 4-stage. Its always had a drysump whether it was a Barnes or an SCP pump... the Barnes pulls more vacuum. Sorry, no pics of the system...maybe on the rebuild.

Jeff Johnston started working at Aviaid long time ago and started his own biz a few years ago- He has a unique setup with a system that has steel balls in a venturi type tube that will close from acceration forces to contain the oil near the pump in a wet sump system( sort of like the trap doors in other systems)

We have a drysump system that pulls over 20 inches vacume that uses a lobe type pump whereas the more common gear type pulled over 10 inches on the same configuration engine( 500 cid hemi 1380 hp 9500 rpm)

And I agree the fabrication is SUPER

Take a look at Armando's oil pans. He has 30 years experience, and used to be the pan welder at Aviad. He will make most any pan listed on his website in aluminum for $200 over the posted price of the steel pans. As an example: The aluminum GT40 pan is $629.00
