I myself, never hammer the brakes right as I cross the line, I'll steadily apply them for 2 seconds, then back off a little and get back on them, but It never throws Me forward nearly as hard as it pushes me back on the launch.
With an auto tranny car, I can somewhat see the concern here. On a stickshift, idk. Most people I see click it to neutral after a run when they slow down. The pan will have significantly more oil in it at idle speed than 6k+

Even if you did lose a little on the decel, I'd rather lose oil pressure at a low rpm rather than at redline......
I'd just put a moroso pan on, and plumb an accusump into the oil filter lines, that's about the best you can do short of a dry sump.

I wonder if it's not the pickup thats coming uncovered as much as it "could be" just the G-force of the launch with the heavy oil in the large tube going to the pump ?
Kind of like the old school fuel pump issues moving gas all the way to the front of the car on launch ???
