Make sure you have an oil cooler, it should go hand in hand with a baffled sump, oil gets too thin when hot and you can't hold pressure, thats why race cars have oil coolers for everything, don't worry about the pressure, just make sure the idiot light is working properly, whatever you do, you don't want it coming on, Colin.

I've fiddle with my sump a little (a lot) and oil temp isn't an issue when racing, no oil cooler though.

But with standard sump ... even baffled ... oil cooler is a must.
Rust, nah that's not rust .... its iron oxide!!!
