You wanna be asking this in the BEC section!!!
No you don't need a dry sump, and as for which one, it makes no odds, Indy's are being built with both. It's more about what engine comes up for
sale at the time.
Blades are more proven, ZX9's SLIGHTLY more powerful, ZX9 can be cheaper but not always, ZX9's are lower geared so you have to be more careful what
diff/wheels you use, plenty of off the sheft parts for both.

IMO won't go far wrong with either, not to up on zx but not heard any horror storys, blade, well ive abused one for 4.5k miles with no probs, no dry
sump, no respect......n the bugger just sits there ticking over begging for more.......
