Dry Sump System Aviad or Dailey

[FETorino]

Does anyone out there have any experience using an Aviad or Dailey dry sump system?

Both have pans for my unusual motor choice.

Both offer a 4 stage set up.

Aviad is a steel pan with external lines from the pickup to the pump.

Dailey integrates the pump to a billet pan. pretty slick from a packaging standpoint but more expensive.

If somebody has run pumps or pans from either vendor I'd appreciate any input you have.

All the manufactures make nice products. I know Daily and Avaid has great rep's a lot of drag racers use the Dailey because of the billet modular pans ( much cleaner of a set up no lines and all o-ringed)

I have a Barnes 5 stage.. tis a very nice piece. A lot of the nascar guys ran / run Barnes pumps along with Auto Verdi.

Plus E-bay always has auto verdi and barnes and peterson's stuff for ridiculously cheap!

Bob runs Avaid pumps and is very pleased with them & my good friend works p/t at Aviad... let me know if I can help

I've been asking the same question lately since I'm looking into putting a dry sump on a 5.4 mod motor for my dad's little project, and both of those companies have been recommended. RCR who built his car recommended AVIAD as that is what they use for their race cars, while Turn Key recommended Dailey because they are apparently quite popular in the off road crowd.

Sorry to be that guy that is going off of second hand info. If you wait long enough I might be able to provide some first hand experience

Well Matt I'm buying this month or the first of next so I can get the motor buttoned up and on the dyno so maybe I'll give you some first hand info.

I've been reading what I can and both companies seem to build quality stuff. Both are about the same distance from me one North and one South. Aviad has a long history with FE motors putting dry sump in Cobras and GT40s. Dailey is a step ahead with a billet pan (Aviad is starting to come out with them but none for my motor yet).

Do you have any first hand info from guys running Dailey in their off road stuff? I can't think of a more difficult environment for a scavenging system to work properly than in off road racing. You have crazy g forces in every direction.

Nope, sorry. I don't know any of the off road guys personally. I just asked Turn Key what they used for mod motors, and they told me that they sent all their customers with non LS7 dry sump systems out to Dailey.

In any case, it sounds like they're both proven systems. You might want to consider which one to choose based on packaging constraints if they are different. Also, are they both 4/5 stage systems; is a billet pan a necessary expense, is the pan supposed to provide strength to the engine? Which ever one you choose will probably work out just fine. If it doesn't I'll just pick the other one
