On the Dyno a 360 cu in SB Chev, dry sump pumps 10 to 12+ gal per  minute 
at 7000 rpm.  Some engines may pump a greater amount.

Mayf,  I remember when dry sumps first came to nascar looking inside the 
tank  
with the motor running. At fast idle it looked like a garden hose with  
water 
coming out turned on full. I think there is a lot more oil going  through 
the 
motor than you would imagine.
