Oil drainage at the bottom of the pan is ok as long as your rings are healthy and you don't have much blow-by. Crank case pressure is a bad thing though when your return is submerged.

Of course it's possible... just look at the Porsche example again.

The early 90s 911 turbos were air cooled engines that put out around 400 hp and they did great.

I wish I had one... that would be great.

Was it an Air to Air intercooler? Or was it air to Oil cooling engine cooling?
