Do FCs suffer from oil starvation under extreme hard acceleration/deceleration or even extreme turning?

The reason I ask is because Racing Beat offers an oil baffle plate, but I have never heard of anyone using one. (Then again, I remember Moroso offering one too for the FD, but again, I've NEVER heard of anyone using one).

Also, FEED offers an oil pan upgrade.

I've never heard of anyone in the US using these products.

Any of the experts care to chime in on this (RETed, Crispeed, etc.)??????

Well since our cars with some suspension mods can pull 1G latteral acc. I would think the oil does fly around in there but I have no proof of it.

My car certainly screams via the low oil light when I'm driving near the edge. I have to overfill the oil by almost a quart to make it stop...
Now, is the engine really starving for oil? I don't know. Never thought to look at the pressure gauge when the buzzer is going off. It's instinctual to look at the oil LIGHT for some reason. I've finally forced myself NOT to look because I should be looking at the fricken COURSE!.
Anyway, ramble mode OFF.

yes, i've heard this too. but under EXTREAM driving conditions. it's recommended for autoXer's or anyone who likes to throw their car's into corners. It's more of a safety mod for the engine

You never know when your turning and you might suck up just a little air instead of oil. i'd imagin that would hurt something
