Hi Dave
 
So what you're saying is there is no pressure in the crankcase? Constant  
volume sure, you don't change that but how about pressure resistance from blow  
by?
 
So are you saying you don't make any more power with a dry sump oiling  
system and the resulting crankcase vacuum? If you admit dry sumps make HP, how  
do 
they do it?
 
If that is the case, why do drag race engines run crankcase vacuum pumps if  
they don't have a dry sump?
