I have been experiencing oil pressure drop when climbing steep grades, especially on turns. I am looking at a six quart pan and pick up from Summit. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g3511 , http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g3509 . It looks like the pan won't be too much of a problem to change with the engine in the car, but does anyone know if the pick up can be changed with out pulling the engine? Also I am not using a windage tray because of this warning that came with a mopar performance cam: It is also not recommended to use any type of oil restrictors to the lifter galley, windage trays, or baffles, or plug any oil return holes in the lifter valley. Oil has a twofold purpose; it not only lubricates, but it also draws the heat away from whatever it comes in contact with. The cam needs oil splash from the crankcase and oil run-back from the top of the engine to help draw the heat away. Without this oil flow, all the heat generated at the cam is transferred to the lifter, which can contribute to premature wear and/or failure. I don't do any racing so is a windage tray necessary?
