Default FE oil pan

Well, I took my car to a local auto cross and my motor was dropping oil press a bit on hard corners. I added a quart of oil even though the dipstick said full still no change, I changed to a thicker viscosity still no change. I have all the reciepts so I started to look for the oil pan reciept and found a milodon pan #. I called them and they said that the pan was not very good for that kind of driving, After some research hear I purchased an Armondo oil pan. I installed it last thurs and when I pulled my old oil pan it looks pretty much the same inside and out as the Armondo but the one I just installed has a windage tray.It is NOT the Milodon one I have seen that I have the reciept for. I don't see any name on the pan so here are a couple of pics. I was wondering if some one can help me out on what kind it is I think it may be an Aviad??? I Don't think I needed a pan I just needed more oil or a windage tray. I was only putting 8 qrts of oil in it which I think explains my problem. Armondo told me to put 10 into this one which looks the same.I will be selling this one so if there is any value help out there also thanks,
Tony
The Armondo pan does have two pipes out the right side of the pan that he says is for a breather and the dipstick that this pan does not have.
