If it were put at a 45° angle down, it would become a 'press fit' to the front of the pan, and prevent oil from doing this.

Next, I know this sounds impractical, but looking at it, I think it could be done, could a version of this be built, that would still allow the balance shafts? I love the tray, but for a car that is a combination of a daily driver / weekend track rat, it is a bit hard to live with at times. Yes, I am getting old

Oh man im glad i read this post. I have a TK strap and no windage tray. Now when i drive i have to baby it arround turns because im worried of oil starvation...But hell, your saying your losing pressure even with the windage tray...

Also....How does this mount? Just by the outside craddle/bedplate bolts?

It mounts via oil pan bolts. I have great pressure in the corners. I only lose it under very heavy braking. I think this can be an easy, easy fix, by adding in some steel 'flashing' angled down towards the bottom of the pan, from the front of the tray. This will prevent oil from sloshing up the front of the block under braking.
