Mines a street/strip only spinning to 6800, have clevite mains and federal competition rods, both additional .0010 clearance, running .0023 on rods and .0025 on crank, it is a hv pump. Didn't even think about a remote oil pump with a drilled swing arm pick up in the pan.

Don't worry. The early 2000's national record holder in BB/A ran a simple wet sump. On a bit over 300 inches he was in the 7.60's last I remember.

If I was going to all the trouble to use an external pump I would use a dry sump. Not an external wet sump. That's silly. Unless some rule maker decided dry sumps were too expensive and made a rule against them.

I was over the external wet sump junk in the early 1990's.
