finned oil pan anyone?
 
Anyone running a finned oil pan for track days? I'm considering buying one (for my 350z) but, honestly, they don't seem worth the time or money. Any comments?

No doubt, thanks. I came to that conclusion after taking it over with my buddy.

Finned pan won't do anything except waste your money buying it, waste your time installing, and waste your energy wondering if it's working. It won't do anything helpful, especially since the undertray covers the oil pan.

does anybody know if the stock oil pan is baffled to make sure there is no oil starvation? is there an aftermarket pan that helps keep the oil evenly throughout the engine during high speed turns?

Plenty of people have tracked the car and haven't had oil starvation issues. So don't worry about things that aren't problems.

You have more $hit to worry about when it comes to baffels (fuel!)

Silly me...always worrying about silly things

The AM performance oil pan is best solution as it addresses real issue related to oil starvation. If you are serious both AM Performance oil pan and an oil cooler are required.

This is on the front of the #04 car.

Yep that's it. They mention one time of producing these.
