better oil pan for h series
i think you mean dry sump, wet sump
unless your pan has stumps? i dont remember seeing any in my pan...
here goes:
i say a stock oil pan is fine unless you're going all out. dry sump just means you'll have all excess oil ouside of your engine in a remote oil tank, which will need to be pumped into your engine accordingly, rather than in the sump - oil pan of your car (aka wet sump), although some setups have wet sump external tanks and pumps. switching to dry sump will ease installation of remote oil coolers, and make ur oil pressure more consistent and adjustable.
in a wet sump system, when u accelerate and brake hard, the oil in your oil pan might slosh back and forth away from turbo or supercharger supply lines, robbing them of precious lubrication, which can lead to damage.
if you just have a pretty simple, nothing too extreme, street setup, you will be fine with a wet sump setup.

i have an moroso wet sump on my 98 lude and it is a clean istallation as well as the ports it has for oil return lines and whatever else u want to use the ports for.
