i know a stock pump/ pick up will suck a stock pan dry on the top end too. I have seen it at 6k rpm with a 383. stock pan and 5 qt. oil. if your racing you need racing parts. you could always have your stock sump extended 1.5"
Very true but I'd imagine that's more of a concern with sustained high-RPM running. Deep pans are of course the best but I'm just making a point that a baffle in a stock pan is still better than no baffle at all...
