Default Baffled sump advice?

Starting to look for last few bits for my build and a new sump is on the list....

Any opinions on what to go for? Baffled sump, normal sump with baffle plate, Oem sump, bigger sump capacity??

I'd obviously love to get a dry sump kit but due to selling nearly all my organs on the black market already I doubt I'll be getting one of these any time soon!

Have seen the lateral baffled sump along with a few Rcm offerings, hyperflow and killer B too.....

Tom as above we have too Cosworth baffled plate,which has been enough for us on the track and on the drag strip

But if you are thinking to run slick or semi-slicks and pushing car on the limits I would go with baffled sump and Cosworth/RCM baffled plate,if its no money object Zen Dry sump

I've seen the zen kit, do you know how much it costs? I know you can get a cosworth kit from the states for just over £2000 withOUT the hoses and oil tank

Thanks for the info Jura, I'd seen the ARE kit on drysump.com but had no idea what parts were needed! Seems there's a few options, have to start saving!!

Hi Tom

We are looked too on this issue,but we are probably will be going with Baffled sump(Group N) and RCM baffled plate for now

Zen Dry sump kit is probably best and really worth the money,we are looking too on this Dry sump..

Twin scroll sump o.e. with cosworth plate works very well. Much better than a single scroll sump as it is like a well at pick up point .

Would that be the same with a twin scroll baffled sump vs single scroll baffled sump?

Ideally Want the car back on the road before Christmas so will probably opt for the setup you suggested above or the baffled sump

I'm guessing a new twin scroll sump and baffle plate would be cheaper than a baffled sump but effectively do just as good a job?
