My 360 has a stock crank and rods with flat top pistons. stock oil pan and I put a 340 windage tray in it. I run low 11's with it and my bearings look fine. If I can squeeze an ounce of more power out of it I will. I was always under the impression the the windage tray prevented oil sloshing back to a certain degree on hard launches. If I can get more power by tossing it into the garbage then I will. I just want a good reason why I should throw it away.
After my 340 I ran a junk 360 shortblock with nitrous and a stock oil pan. I don't recall if it had the oil pressure issue at launch or not, but with that engine I just didn't care so I probably didn't look at the oil pressure gauge until I got back to the pits lol.
