Do 13Bs (specifically FCs) suffer from oil starvation under extreme driving?

Do 13Bs (specifically 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.)??????

Under high-G turning, the oil can be pulled away from the oil pick-up. In addition, it can sometimes become aerated when sloshed around to a great degree, as on an autocross course. Baffling helps prevent this from happening, and keeps oil at the pickup at all times.

The plate Racing beat sells mainly slows the oil as it drains back into the pan. As oil is squirted into the rotors and sloshed around, it has a tendency to foam at high rpm, the plate give the air a chance to seperate out, thus keeping your oil pressure up when prolonged high rpms, and modifyed oil squirters are on schedual. It also does everything No7Yet listed.
