Default Re: Windage tray yes or no

The best way would be to create your own custom one that closely follows the crank/rod profiles and attaches to special main-cap studs/bolts. It would take a bit of work to get it done correctly, but it is "free" horsepower so to speak!

I have a Milodon "diamond scraper" version on a higher horsepower street 383 SBC that I custom built. It puts out 520 HP and consistently builds oil-pressure on the dyno - all the way up to 6400 RPM (my redline with hydraulic rollers). The screen really helps to reduce frothing and keep oil in the pan.

The dyno operator was very impressed with how the oil pressure held up after 20 dyno runs and it was obvious that the oil pump, windage tray, scraper and "kicked out" oil pan were all doing their jobs.
