I fully agree, dry sumps are killer and they do greatly reduce windage losses and improve oiling. But the cost to do a dry sump system "correctly" can get pretty costly (a bit more than $1k in my experience). The money could be better spent on other "go fast" parts.

I typically look at what the top NMRA racers are doing when I'm gauging whether something is worth it or not. For instance, the EFI Renegade and Street Outlaw guys are not allowed to run dry sumps, and their cars are flying (8 and 9 second cars)!
