GM also didn't design either one of those cars for sustained high rpm track use. There's a reason why they went to a dry sump for the Z06, ZR-1, and Z/28.

The piston oilers are definitely not a bad thing to do, I just wouldn't do it with a wet sump for track use. If you're adamant about using a wet sump, I would increase the pan capacity, use a good trap door baffling system in the pan, and an accusump...it might live then. I would probably use a crank scraper too.
