Windage tray question

[Schwettmann06]

So I smashed my stock pan and plan on replacing it with a mmr pan. I'm thinking about upgrading the windage tray while I'm at it. My question is does the windage tray make enough of a difference to bother with it. It's in a 2006 forged 4.6 std bore with a whipple at 17psi. Any help would be great!

any help on reducing weight on rotating mass is a plus.... i would suggest the Canton pan and windage tray..Get the extra qt. pan as well...

I saw a MMR pan on a car the other day and i was not impressed with it...

I have the MMR windage tray with the moroso pan.

Does yours take 9 quarts of oil to fill as well, lol.... I'm using that pan as well.

With the filter it is pretty close.

The MMR oil wind age tray I bought was actually a canton...

Stock pan and windage tray. Anything else is a waste of money imho.

I have heard a lot about canton but haven't seen one. Most people around here don't go that far into the motor. Thank you for the replies, I'll probably go with the canton setup.

i'll see if i can get a pic of mine later today since my motor is on a stand at the moment.

That would be awesome memphis05. Oh does it have the fitting for the oil sensor?

ok so what exactly is a windage tray?

The more oil you have slinging around the crank, the greater the parasitic power loss. The windage tray keeps the amount of oil slinging around the crank to the minimum. Some do a better job than others.

ah i gotcha thanks man

yes there is a port/fillting for a sending unit. i am running a cobalt oil temp gauge.....

i will get some pics soon.....

Found one on my phone....

Hope this helps.

On my '05 i used that port for the stock oil temp sensor. It was only on the 05 & I believe 06 years.

That helps a lot Memphis 05. So looks like I'm just going to wait for the parts and tackle changing it. I don't want to pull the motor again.

not sure - there may be some information in this thread you may find useful. If not disregard

Tmcolegr, that has tons of helpful info. With that I'm sure my install will go smoothly. Great write up by the way I think you should send it to canton. I'll post up how the install went when I'm done. I'm working 12 on 12 off 7 days a week so it'll be a while. Thanks again everyone, I got some great info.
