I'm going to R compounds on the car; during road course turns, does the oil pan need to be modified to keep oil from slipping away from the oil pump pick-up? Van
Does the 7MGTE oil pan need modification?

short answer yes. i currently only run additional wings that bring me capacity up to 7-8 quarts in the pan. i also reduced the clearance between the windage tray to the oil pan sides and added a crank scrapper. I will be adding baffles next time i drop the subframe
The oil pan is at Finish Line Coatings, getting ceramic coated, with an oil shedding coat inside and thermal heat dispersant outside. I'll see if Russ Meeks has a camara I can use at his shop, to put the modified pan online. He modified the oil pan, using the oil pan bulges from Speedway Motors, and added baffles.
I'm also planning to purchase the Ishi-J 7M crank scraper from SIP Racing. Van

Been running one quite a few years now, my car will pull just under 1g sustained and I've never had a bearing issue 
(I was running a Group A Magnesium pan as well but I ran a stock pan for a few years without a failure thanks to the accumulator and +1Qt always)

hey Ian, is the extra quart ok even on a stock oiling system? well not stock, lowered oil pump pickup and shimmed internals w/ braided oil pump line but i doubt that'll make a difference. I thought too much oil in the crankcase would cause the oil to foam??
Here is the whole thread that is stickied under Motor Oil, Lubricants & Filtration, that covers extended pans, crank scrapers, and swing baffels.

Pretty much all has been covered there already.
(figured I'd dig it up since the search function doesn't seem to work)
