LS3 dry sump system?

[Mike69Cam]

Does anyone know about dry sump systems for LS3? Is anyone making a system? I would think the market is there due to popularity of the '10 Camaro.

GM is putting a "dry sump" on the manual 2010 Grand Sport corvettes. I assume you can pick up the stuff for it from GM direct. Maybe not as good as aftermarket setups but it's something at least.

The LS7 crank snout is longer to accept the dual stage oil pump. I wonder if the LS3 with dry sump has a longer crank snout too?

Thanks...I heard about the OEM dry sump for the new Vette today. Doubt an aftermarket is available yet. I just committed to an AM chassis for my 69 Camaro build. I want to autocross and roadrace it, so dry sump makes sense. Will check out the GM system. Dave...do you and Mary use dry sump in your cars?

ARE, AVAID and Dailey all make dry sump systems for the LSx series... including simple upgrades to the factory LS7 oil system... all the way to full blown 5 stage unitized pan systems.
