I thought the back would be good too but a lot of oil sloshes back there on take off, drag strip runs, even street driving.

Tried the front of the valve cover and it wasn't much better. Street driving just didn't work, and I assume slowing down, braking, sharp left hand turns etc.. pushing oil to the front of the valve cover.

Had baffles in those locations too.

Went to the middle and the very top of the cover and the difference was night and day, and no baffle at all. Luckily these aftermarket valve covers have a flat area along the top edge of the cover allowing us to put the fitting further away from the center of the cover where there is more splash oil, and allowed the suction fitting to face straight up. Seemed to be the cure for his car anyway.
