I have seen posts like this for years, BUT NO ONE seems to recommend a 1/2" wide angled steel "deflector" on the back wall to turn the oil slamming into that wall on hard launches.

Easy to do with the pan off, Oil Pump will clear the "deflector" in installed about 1/2 way
up the back wall of the pan.

Also some very good Oil Pan info/Pictures in this "Pontiac Jim" link:

Mt Steffs pan has a strip on the back wall for keeping oil down on launches.

The Nightmare pan does have some metal back there that could help keep some oil down at launch. If they sold a pan like this but with the passenger side kickout like the Canton pan that you can not get anymore they would sell a lot of them. Trap doors, built in windage screen, full baffle and a big kickout to give the oil coming off a scrapper somewhere to go they would sell. If they could design a scrapper to go with it all and still use a factory style dipstick all the better.

The Canton 15-452 pan is more than adequate for your setup. The bolt in baffle in the pan also has the back wall deflector that Tom talks about.
