No baffle and autocross = disaster. I wouldn't do it as when you are tight turning and heavily braking you could run your p/u dry or atleast not submerged. For heavy loads and cornering consistatly as you will be doing you really want a baffled pan.

We already discussed this in your other thread. You need to leave it in.

Why don't you just get factory replacement main bolts and put them in instead of the ARP's, factory rod bolts are terrible, not so much the mains.

Apparently he wants to keep trying until someone gives advice that matches what he wants to do. You can lead a horse to water...

Leave it out and take as many long sweeping curves as you can.

sorry for my stupidity and hard headedness of the whole situation. im undergoing alot with family work and people breaking my windows of my ******* car thursday the engine goes back together with the windage tray and baffle. i believe my builder when he said that when he pulled it apart it didnt have a windage tray in it. i was having sporadic oil pressure under heavy acceleration before. and stupid questions lead to the right answers. so thanks to all of you
