Hi rpm oil starvation with stock tires?

I have read this entire, very informative thread. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I don’t plan to track my stock 370z 7AT, but members here with track experience certainly have knowledge to share that could help save my engine.

There are many opportunities to corner at the traction limit of the stock street tires on the twisty roads of East Texas. Using the paddle shifters makes it easy to keep the rpm in the meat of the power band, 4500-7000. Are the stock oil pan and oil pickup sufficient to keep oil flowing without oil starvation under these conditions? If not, would an oil pan spacer be enough to keep oil covering the pickup?
