With a quality after-market pan, probably not. With a stock pan, yes. Remember also that aside from the windage issue, a tray drops your pan down a bit. A positive for the oil pickup <sometimes>, and a negative in that your pan is lower. This was discussed last year on the FordFE forum, here's one of the threads: http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182/thread/1164648678/
