Default F Body sump, baffle for circuit racing?

Hi Guys, was doing a circuit day in my car yesterday, and the oil pressure light was coming on every now and then while harsh cornering.
It needs to be sorted, can anyone offer solutions to this problem?

Dry sumping not an option.

Cheers.

Another solution is an oil pressure accumulator such as an Accusump made by Canton Racing. Moroso has a similar unit. These setups address not only the loss of oil pressure under lateral loads, but also the tendency of LS motors to carry too much oil in the upper part of the motor and correspondingly too little oil in the lower part of the motor at sustained high rpm. These can be used with or without improved baffling in the oil pan.
