A dry sump is the term for an oil pan where the oil isn't left in the sump.

A lot of race applications use them in order to have a higher oil
capacity and reduce teh chance of sucking an air bubble if the oil
sloshes.

If you check your friendly intertube search device (commonly Google in
this dimension), you'll find more info.

I think your wet sumps will do just fine.
