I have a Canton pan, with the baffles, but not sure which model. It was an excellent fit and just looks right. Top quality unit. I haven't been racing yet to prove its worth. I can't imagine a sweeping corner long enough to cause starvation. There is just too much capacity. One problem I have in everyday driving, even here in Florida: I have so much oil capacity now with the remote filter, and oil cooler and all those big oil lines, about 9 quarts total, that it takes a long time to get the oil to temperature, even with the oil cooler covered with foam all the time. I only take the foam plug out for car shows. The oil pan has LOTS of surface area, so there has to be some cooling taking place right at the pan. In 50 degree weather, the oil NEVER warms up. I wish now that I had installed a temperature bypass.
