So I got a screen for the pan and put on a dual crankscraper. I believe there is power to be gained by keepin down the drag on the crank.

A good street strip oil pan is a Kevco and it hold 6 qts and has a scraper and doors and is under $200.00 IIRC

Many SB NHRA stock class racers don't use a windage tray but most of them do use a scraper and a one way wire baffle. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
