Keep in mind that Stan is a crusty old turd who still wears his 1965 "lucky" underwear, which rumor has it, has never been washed.
As far as capacity of a dry sump oil tank, I stick by my beliefs.............. better to have too much than not quite enough, and the larger, the less aireation of the resevoir which ultimatly feeds the motor, hence bearings.
One of my personal Hero's, Marlo Treit, ran a 5 gallon tank in his Blown Hemi Lakester many years ago. After one particular run the bearings showed signs of oil starvation yet the tank was full.
He told me that when he talked to the late Keith Black that Keith told him that at sustained high speed, the pistons worked like a old hand powered water pump and actually sucked oil up (beneath the pistons) and could result in a severe oil loss (not including lifter galley oil loss). Keeping in mind that this was twenty or so years ago and that dry sump pumps were not commonly used on after market Hemi motors, and that most used a KB external pump. Marlo told me that He upgraded his oil tank from a five gallon tank to a eight gallon tank and the problem was solved.
I shoud add also, that because of how those motors oiled, that everything I have just said doesn't mean didely squat as far as most current high reving motors go.
I still, however, admire Stan, although I maintain that he looks more like a Butterfly netter than the True Legand that he is............................ Bob
