In regards to your extra quart. That was a good band aid for poor oil control with windage as your side effect. I wouldn't do it on this setup if it's a quality pan. Windage is BAD.

Needless to say, track test it and look when everything is HOT.
I hear what your saying......I imagine if I were in charge I would have opted to adjust for more oil pressure. My position on dyno day was to trust what he was doing. This wont be my last go around with Joe.....I'll get a better explanation when I talk to him again.

As far as the extra quart this is my view and please correct me if it doesn't make sense......I filled the pan with 7 quarts of water before I installed it just to see how close to the crank it would be. Water level came up even with the windage screen. My thoughts were if I'm up in the rpm's all the time how much oil is left in the pan?.....especially at the end of a long straightaway before coming into an uphill left handed corner(which is how I retired a rod bearing on my last motor).
