When its all done and you get to the testing you might want to data log the oil pressure during whatever type of driving your going to do.

you've done quite an impressive job with this project so far. love the fact that YOU do the work yourself in terms of design and machining things. however, if i had to choose a part to drool over it would be the oil pan/plate. i can't wait to see the intake manifold.
good luck and keep up the awesome work.

It doesn't matter if the scavenge lines run dry for a little bit. What you should worry about is the oil tank running out of reserve oil for the pressure pump. No pressure = spun bearings. I'd figure out a way to log a pressure sensor tapped into the pressure line just before the engine.

oil increases in volume over temp rise...hence checking oil in trans or engine is always done at OP temps....
And oil tends to overflow a dip stick when hot if overfull,,,,,,,,,
this is due tp the wax crystaline structure of oil as it cools and heats up..of course that also is related to viscosity (wax crystals) but is alos directly related to voulume as well

what do you think is a good size for a dry sump tank?

well since you asked sooo nicely.. 
the s475 next to a holset hx35 (which is for sale)
for size reference the tiles are 1' squares.
some better pics of my dry sump:
got the other piece of the plenum tacked up, sitting in place:
a whole bunch of AN fittings, 6an aluminum hardline, and 4 stainless steel injector bungs (bottom right)
unfortunatly this isn't going to progress too much for a little bit, due to my inability to find a good paying job.
