Oil Pan

How deep is the pan. If it is a race pan, a windage tray is not really needed but a lower - max oil height is rather desired. The windage tray protects the crank and rotateing assembly from the oil it picks up from the wind created. (OK, maybe a "NO duh" but...) If the oil is down and away enuff, the tray is no real help.
Right?
After all, your not really filing up the pan with 8 plus quarts are you?
