Q: Why would someone need a racing oil pan??

A: During high accelerations oils sloshes and moves around the pan. Than sometimes causes the oil pickup tube to be partially exposed. When that happens, the tube will be sucking air from the oil pan and not oil. A racing oil pan helps ensure the oil pickup is always submerged under oil

Q: How much oil is left in the oil pan during high-G turns? 

A: Not much at all. In the right hand turns most of the oil moves to the right side of the engine where it is being whipped by the crank. The stock oil pan contains just 8 oz (!) at the bottom of the pan near the oil pickup. The pickup is partially exposed and is sucking air. gf

This is what the engine feels during a near-1G right hand turn. The OEM oil pan retains only 8 oz of oil (0.25 quarts):

 
   <--- only 0.25 quarts.

The Supercar Engineering Racing Oil Pan contains a baffle with a one-way trap door, which keeps most of the oil near the oil pickup. Additionally, the large kick-out area provides an extra 1.25 quarts of oil as a reserve for longer turns. This combination increases the amount of oil near the oil pickup to a healthy 1.9 quarts! The oil pickup is fully submerged.

This is the new Supercar Engineering racing oil pan that retains 1.9 quarts:

   
    <--- now 1.90 quarts!!!
