Sounds scary. Scavenging a dry sump is often done in multiple
locations on opposite sides to ensure you don't flood the crank in
turns. Race Engineering magazine had a good article on dry sump best
practices a few issues ago--or maybe that was a few years ago.
I assume your pressure pump will run directly from the tank. You
should probably make sure you have a good swirl tank, you get a lot
of air entrained in the oil and the vent line and catch can will
carry away a few pints per race if you don't do a good job of
separating the oil from the air.
