That would not be a good thing to do.

Agreed, but just in case someone says "well I have a rev limiter" so it's okay, it's not only high rpm. High cornering 'G force' IMO is more prevalent and as example my GT5 had a high capacity 9 quart pan on it when I purchased it. At the Fun Rally first time on track I was losing oil pressure in some of the corners, thus even on a 9 quart pan oil was walking up the sidewalls of the pan under high g force. I removed the oil pan when I got home to discover it was simply a high capacity and had no baffles to prevent oil moving away from the pickup. I since installed a baffled Aviaid pan as preventing the pickup running dry is more important than pure volume.
