Question Which performance oil pan for forced induction?

Im looking at changing out my oil pan soon. I realllllly want an aps pan because of the price point and oil baffles, but it looks like they are discontinued.......

The only one i found in similar design is the power enterprise one, but its 5 times the price of the aps.

Arc makes one similar but with no oil baffles.

Stillen makes one for under 200 with cooling fins.

And then there is the oil pan spacer, which i was looking at but for some reason im stuck on the oil starvation selling gimic with the baffles on the aps.

Im looking for an oil cooling, and volume upgrade for under 200 bucks, what do you guys recommend? Another option would be an oil cooler which would increase the oil volume and cooling performance.

Ideally, an external Oil Cooler is best for optimal cooling performance(will have a constant charge of air flowing through it, keeping temps lower), rather than just an Oil Pan with baffles.

And like Keith said, with our spacer, you've no need to modify or replace the factory oil pan in any way; it comes pre-tapped for any fittings you'd like to run with a custom setup. Even comes with pre-tapped threads for an Oil Temp sensor, for you to wire a gauge and closely monitor your engine oil temps if your car will be seeing excessive track use.

We've got plenty of Oil Pan Spacers in stock, so send me a pm and let me know if I can do anything for you.
