Baffled Oil Pan?
 
I have been looking around for a baffled oil pan for my 99 Z28. I don't see much in the way of baffled, late model pans though. Is there anything out there that I am just missing? Is there a way to add baffles to a stock pan?

Just looking for something to ensure I won't starve the engine during spirited driving, autocross, or open track events.

-Thanks

I have only seen stock options well. The only thing I came up with was in the GM performance parts catalog they have one made for circle track and then two other stock pans a corvette one and a F-body one.

I think Canton makes a ls1 pan.. Or was it moroso?

canton is the only pan we buy in some cases its 3 and 4 times the cost of any of the others BUT its the only one you can do a swap and see the difference on a dyno even with out the turns, bruces is a WD stocking dealer in rockaway 973 664 0192 thye only one i have in my book is an alloy unit 6 1/2 qt stock starter ok f body pick up # 12558251 part # 13 - 270 A --- 98 on - ls 1 and ls 6 -- and it requires a remote oil filter and they have the stuff the stock windage tray must be re used -- soooo maybe the stock pan aint so bad ??????? i have no idea -- jz

Go here for a baffle that will goes inside the stock pan. I have one ready to go in this winter.

Do a search on LS1tech or frrax and you'll find more info.

Thanks Chris, that looks like the most reasonable solution.

It's not the perfect solution, but its better than stock and won't kill the wallet or add the complexity/packaging/plumbing of an accusump or full-blown dry sump system, especially for a car that still sees a good amount of street time.
