The only worry I had with my dry sump set-up was the high crank-case temperatures. The magnesium case loses strength when the temps get really high......and the oil that normally cools the case is sitting in the oil tank. Just another thought......not trying to frighten you, Chris.😁

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
