Don't use a crankshaft, they are heavy and inefficient.
A drysump means you can run the oil pump using an electric pump instead of engine power and make more HP.

Less volume of oil in the crankcase = less windage = less hp to spin the crank = more overall hp
Using a extra quart oil pan with one less quart of oil helps to achieve this without loss of original intended capacity.
