Windage tray

How big would this baffle be?

Oil also tries to climb up the back at launch. I have a baffle trimmed to fit the pan, bolts between the oil pump and main cap. Seems like it was from Moroso. Probably had it 5 years or so.

Depends on size and shape of pan. Just take a pump with pickup and place in pan approximately in position and look at it. All you are trying to do is shield the oil at pickup area from air blast. Does not have to be pretty only needs to protect. Just use line of sight.

I 've one of those for years. My car doesn't wheelstand very high but I guess it doesn't hurt to run it.

It's surprising how opinions differ on trays. The talk used to be that we had to have a tray to break up the rope of oil swirling around the crank. My pan still has the factory two piece solid pan welded in. It's pretty far from the crank. I leave it in cause I feel like it helps keep oil in the sump during shut down.

The scraper is for the "rope of oil" on the crank.
I can see what Pete is talking about. I might should look into that.

In my Moroso older Ultimate 2 pan it came with a diamond stripper and that's what I still use........and its easy to imagine why it would work , better than a tray. The Ultimate 2 pan has a full kickout and seriously altered sump......uses tubes through sump to pan rail.
Funny thing is , when I was talking to a "good guy" at Moroso 2 weeks ago , he wanted to sell me a newer pan , one that uses a TRAY........the pan looked much simpler than the pan I have. He told me the newer pan was worth 15 HP..........I didn't buy it . The pan he suggested is below. This pan looks much cheaper to produce than what I have now ( Ultimate 2).
