With a Canton 7-qt pan on my engines we've seen as much a 7hp more without the windage tray, presumably because the tray was bouncing the oil back onto the crank rather than allowing it to be thrown into the deep pan. Just a thought.
So you actually get more RWHP without the Canton tray than with it? Any experience with the crank scraper? I have both and am veryu curious. I haven't made any back to back dyno pulls, but just assumed the tray and scraper actually worked as advertised.
