Question Windage tray 383 stroker?

I have an 02' Z06 with a 383 stroker that I road race. I don't have an accusump or dry oil system but would one of improved windage tray help with keeping oil in the bottom end so it dont run dry in heavy side G loads? THX all!

In my opinion, I would say yes, any type of aggressive driving would benefit from a windage tray.. I have used the dry sump method on a L88 and it worked good but at a price. there are articles on windage trays on 383`s and crank clearance. I used a windage tray on my last 383 build and I don`t recall any clearance issues. If needed you can shim the tray with washers or bend the tray slightly to clear. Hope this helps some.
