This seems to be a controversial topic for our cars. Some say we have "enough" baffling from the factory.

I am seriously looking into the Racer X baffled oil pan as I'm a safety nut and really want to prevent oil starvation any way I can even if my car isn't pulling over 1G in the corners. I'm actually going to borrow a friends TrackMate for my next event to see where the cornering loads are at.

Mike have you looked into oil accumulators for the FA20?

Phil at Element Tuning has got some great info and an amazing 9k rpm turbo build using an accumulator. Ive been wondering if a plebe like me with a N/A or even a low boost, 7k rpm SC build could benefit from running slicks with an accumulator in tandem with a baffled pan.

See the link above to Phil's build (and watch this video) as it looks to be a serious contender for what you're looking for, although it's a very pricy build.
