Ive read all your quoted posts. The biggest word that sticks out to me is RACECAR.
If your car only does daily duty I would recommend the
Killer Bee Oil Pickup. You have the pan off, its a good simple upgrade. It comes with a new Gasket.
If you are going to be hard on it or track/autox it frequently an Oil Baffle sounds like a good Idea.
Blue Moon and
Moroso look like fine candidates.
Depending on how deep your pocket is you can also look into a
Reimax Oil Pump. That is if you track the car.
Hope that helps. This is all opinion, but Ive been doing a lot of the reading you have on Oil Issues. Mine has 50,000+ miles and Ill be going down the same route.
