I ran 3 track days there without one - while stock everything a number of years ago - was running 2:03-2:04s. Motor is still alive.

Also ran a good number of track days at Streets of Willow through the bowl without a baffled pan - motor survived. Actually, I'm on around 80 track days now on my original motor. I didn't install a baffled pan until about 30-35 track days in.

That said, I'm not logging data, so I can't tell you anything useful other than that my motor survived 30+ track days at all of the SoCal tracks without a baffled pan, and has so far gone another 50 days with one.

i've got the evasive slosh plate, i've only done 3 track days on it but im logging oil pressure. pressures are all good so far, no pick up issues b/c of it that i can see yet.

I figured since it has been revived that if report back. I went with a Mugen oil pan. I assume it has no negative repercussions but have no data on that. I keep the oil at the H on the dipstick. I have coupled this with a RainH8R vc mod.

I assume Mugen puts out quality parts designed to benefit not hurt the motor, per haps that’s naive but I think they have done their due diligence.

off topic but I burned about a quart of oil in one track day in my 40k mile Ap2 due to smoke screen effect before doing the VC mod. I just did both of these as preventative measures to larger issues.

Cheers!

Huge thanks for this. There's so much conflicting info out there. I know the baffle helps with piece of mind so it's really up to the owner, but being my first time i'd rather minimize my track prep/costs to basic necessities i.e. fresh oil change, helmet, etc.
