Default Problems with windage tray

I am putting a LS1 into a Nissan 240sx and I'm having problem with windage tray, after I put the 383 stroker kit and Arp Main cap studs, every single rod hits the tray and arp studs keep tray from mounting flush. I went to space out the tray but I had to buy a custom oil pan to clear crossmember which has a massive front sump but hardly any clearance in the rear, had to remove windage tray to install pan. I know I'll lose a couple horsepower because of the oil sloshing around, motor isn't running yet so I don't think not having a windage tray is a problem what do you think??? Oh custom 7 quart oil pan has 2 trap doors on each side.

can see oil pan on this page http://www.sikky.com/view_item.php?id=37&catid=13

Please give your thoughts

Hate to waste a very good motor on a very stupid problem!
