He may not like getting poked at, but Brent can take a beating

More importantly, he doesn't BS and has success behind his logic
He and I are great buds off screen and banter about windage trays all the time, (as well as cork end seals, silicone, tins, etc and a wide range of other things LOL) We each have our techniques and reasons and don't always agree, but I love to hear his side and experience because he doesn't make stuff up or use historic rumor or wives tales.
I like what I do with a windage tray, but I also don't have A-B-A testing proof. Not sure anyone does at the level we are asking here (screen vs louver vs stock vs none/launch vs dyno, etc). I will say that pulling a deep pan on a dyno session is the last thing I want to do, second only to maybe pulling one out of a car for back to back timed runs, but either would be cool if someone had the time. That being said, I do not see how a factory windage tray, without modification can do anything beyond a
cting like a baffle on launch though, in fact, it's not much different than the shallow end of the pan in terms of the throw of oil from the crank. That's why I drill a bunch of holes in the stockers.
Now, for the purpose of blocking oil from hitting the crank...when your pan is too small and overfull.... muy bueno (I think LOL) maybe just bueno....but there is likely more power and longevity in using a better pan. In fact, I won't use a stock pan on anything that makes HP. I was happy to see when Brent came up with a supplier who would baffle stock style pans. Still not great at lower capacity, but certainly better.
I have a spare Canton screen, if we can talk Brent into a run after JJ is dialed in, I will give it to him to try on Junky Junk.
