advantages of having dry sump oil system : - you dont need to hold as much oil in your oil pan because there is a seperate oil tank, meaning that your engine will be alot lighter, so im pretty sure that you can put the engine lower which can help aerodynamics - the oil capacity on a dry sump can be as big as u want and finally, dry sump = extra power with a wet sump oil can get on the shaft and cut power, with a dry sump that wont happen the only disadvantage will be you'll have extra weight because of the oil tank
