I'm not posative on this but I don't think dry sump will help much. From what I understand dry sump just has 2 oil pumps one that sucks the oil from the pan to a smaller resevoir that stays full so that the second pump will always be pumping oil and not lose pressure in extreme conditions. such as serious offroading, autocross, and other things that tend to slosh oil around in the oil pan. it can help keep the crankshaft out of the oil which will help your high rpm goal some but I think the dry sump system takes more power to operate also. If your worried about oil starvation I would just get a good pan and pickup. especially if it is mostly a drag car. That's just my view on it.
