Oil pan baffles?, help it w/o hurting it. Options

[mandrek]

ok, so another small project on my list of small projects wile i am rebuilding this motor. i have and i will continue to Auto-x this car, and have been looking to do some small simple mods that i could do to help A: avoid posible issues caused by harder driving conditions, and B: might help give any kind of performance increase...

this is more on the condition A.
my original reason for why i am having to rebuild a motor for this car is partialy due to some harder G's from when i was taking an on ramp loop. ( thats not all of it, but part of the condition that caused my perdicament)
so in thinking about that, and seeing how "race motor" application oil pans have baffles or gates built into the pan to help keep oil from sloshing away from the oil pick up, i was thinking about welding something in to the pan wile i have it out, and sort of do a simplified anti-slosh system. nothing to complex, so a gate design is out of the question. so lets look at what we got.

the oil pan:


and the matirial i got from home depot that i was thinking about using to make some baffles.




gonna work on some concepts and post em in a bit..

any suggestions, opinions, or even perhaps pix from anyone who has done somthing like this before. dont hesistate. go for it!

i personally think that project C will be the most efficient way to baffle the oil because of the shape of the oil pickup is round itself i'm thinking the oil will remain around the pickup longer and have more fed to it rather than a square i;m thinking the square designs may deflect some of the oil causing it to go around the baffle but that's just my point of view. goodluck on your baffle and happy holidays bud.

yeah was thinking along the same lines on the "C", and how that no matter what the direction the G's were loading that there would be a good "net" to help slow the sloshing.. plus i think it will be alot easyer to shape, and then weld down. i am going to start with a large ring first, as big as can fit in it, with the center being under the pick-up.

will post pix after i am finnished with the pan.

thanx for the replys!!!
