I only want to buy a pan once, is the 8 quart really needed. This is a 10.5 to 1 engine, 451, driver and maybe a little 1/4 mile, engine has seen 7000 rpm in the past. What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

I have heard mixed reviews on putting a windage tray on as far as horsepower. Is it worth the extra $?

If you're planning on getting a Mildon pan, be prepared to wait. I've got on on order, was originally told 4-6 weeks, it has now been delayed twice and will end up about a 2.5 month wait -- if it shows up next Monday (and I'm not holding my breath).
I don't know if this is typical for them, but regardless, my only experience with them has earned them an F- in my book.
Parts I seek:
driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set
16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better.
69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields

According to the old Mopar Performance engine bulletins it is worth extra HP at higher RPM's. I don't remember how much.

Haha yeah I just ordered a one of the same oil pans and went with a 7 qrt and waited for a month or so. I go the windage tray and pickup as well. Not sure on how its going to fit as I just got it last week and the motor is being built next weel!

A 7 quart pan should be just fine. Check out the Milodon road race pan #31580, it holds 7qts but doesn't hang as low as the drag pans. http://www.milodon.com/oil-pans/road-race-oil-pans.asp
That's the same pan I'm waiting on! Looks like a great design, but of course I've yet to lay my hands on it...

Personally,if you are doing only a limited amount of racing I would use the Mopar Perf replacement Hemi / 6pk pan,you will have all the oil you need and still looks stock.Here is an original Max Wedge pan,they were not run on the street.Guess how much it holds. 
Bill, I'll guess 7...  ..Looks like an extra quart over the hemi pan...
