Oil Baffles for track

Hi all,

I’m finishing up my engine build for my track car and the last item I’m deciding on is whether or not to run oil baffles and, if so, which style. Can will be a track day toy and potentially organized racing.

Hoping for some feedback from those using them or reasons to not use one.

I’ve been looking at the following ones:
- KND with forge flaps - weld to pan
- RMW style that sits around the pickup tube
- AAF weld in baffle
- WMW - backordered until who knows when.
Thoughts? Ideas? Discussion?

Their is this one also. If up to you, not many on the market for MINI.

Ended up buying a windage tray and the RMW oil baffle. Should be set. Cheap insurance.

I have the RMW baffle in my 1800cc motor. It is similar to the baffles run by short oval cars who are constantly subjected to high g-forces. Good choice.
