Hello, I need to get a new oil pan for my 408 LQx build that is going in my 2002 camaro. Ive been searching around and im curious, are the aftermarket oil pans with baffles, trap doors, and remote oil filters, really worth an extra $150+? I always want the best for my car but im not sure i can justify spending that extra money on just an oil pan, when im sure i could make the stock one fit with a little modifications. Any thoughts or opinions on this topic?

Heres the pans that summit offers, the stock pan included:

A stock pan with aftermarket baffles installed is a popular option. I've seen my car get oil starved in hard braking with a stock pan on the street. I need to add a baffle.

Honestly unless you are road racing I'd leave it alone, I know plenty of people running the stock pan with spacers for the windage tray on big cube motors and they are just fine

Interesting product, Exidous. Thanks for the link.

Yes, and if you are road racing with sticky Hoosier R6es, you would need an Accusump as well, at the very least.

The ideal would be an ARE dry sump setup (BIG $$$$$$!!!).

If you are racing the car at all put a good pan on it. unless you have a data logger you don't know that the oil pressure is droping on launch. With my aftermarket pan set up I don't see a drop in pressure with a 1.28 60'
