Oil behaviour question

Just built an oversize sump for my car and I started wondering how much oil is sitting in the pan under racing conditions. Stock, and with the car at rest the sump is full to withing an inch of the block. But I wonder how much oil is left when the pump is working at max rpm and there is oil everywhere. I was not planning to add any gates, as that is a pain to build and I would have to remove all the stock windage trays. But maybe all I have done is cause a lot more oil to be sloshing around and the extra volume will be of no benefit unless I can keep it contained near the pickup? The stock baffling guided the oil to the pickup, but now a lot of oil will be outside of the baffling in the new part of the pan. (I went wider, but not deeper)

Part of my concern with gates is that unless they are done right they may prevent oil from getting to the pickup if they don't open properly.

Um, what kind of car? What engine? How is your oversized sump designed, and how are the gates laid out? Most baffles are concentrated on forcing the oil into the pickup area, i.e. E30 baffles...

...and for the love of god, that avatar breaks my entire page formatting to the point where I almost didn't respond!

Think about turning the oil pan 45degrees to the sides and front and about 30 degrees back. That will get you 1G acceleration under braking and cornering and 0.6G on throttle. The amount of oil that over runs the baffles is what will get splashed up on the crank and other bits moving at high speed...
