Oil Pressure drop right hander question

Here's the issue with all of our current wet sump options:
I had to use a moroso pan because I couldn't find a photo of a stock pan at this angle but it's the same thing. Our issue isn't oil getting pulled away from the pickup, it's oil not returning to the sump where the pickup sits. Even after the g force is gone the oil is not going to return to the sump very easily.
The solution is to chop down the shallow part and make it angle downwards to the sump to aid oil return. Like this:
In fact, Moroso already does this on their X pan. I don't know why they neglected it for the 8/9 pan:
Option B which would work even better would be to have a "full depth" pan like Zach made for his car which requires an exhaust reroute and AC delete. This gives complete freedom to design a sump that will hold pressure for any car:
Option C is to increase the sump area even further. Tuff customs already does this. They've proven it works better than the Racefab design, which should be obvious because it has a greater capacity, but it's still not completely bulletproof: https://ssmperformanceparts.com.au/p...-sump-evo-4-9/
As to getting the pan to seal, that's a Moroso issue. There's plenty of dry sump pans that have no sealing issues, there's no reason we can't have a wet sump made with no sealing issues.

At that point, I don't see what would keep it there except G-forces.
Probably still easier to take Kaj's pan and add angle on shallow end if desired. Hardest part
of making any of these pans is contour against block. I can even see a wall at end of shallow
end with 2 trap doors, just in case deep end wants to flow that way. That's still only 6 doors.
What are the other 5 for?

at 1 G lateral the oil is in the block being hammered around by the crank...

How much oil do you think could be in that shallow part until it is full, couple quarts tops?

To put things in perspective, that Tuff Customs pan doesn't have pressur drops as soon as the racefab (and maybe it won't ever) because it holds 9.5 quarts of oil. With 3-4 in the shallow area that still leaves enough returning to the sump to keep things healthy.
I don't know what the design of the Unit 2 pan looks like, and that shouldn't be a surprise, people don't want to give away secrets like that. The amount of trap doors doesn't matter to me so long as it works.
And the reason I'm proposing a new pan is because to get the results we want, the only part being reused would be the pan rail. At that point it's less work to make something from scratch. I'd guess fab guys would prefer not having to cut up the odd shape that our pan is anyway.

It's not all in the pan, it can go up into the crank case too..

I wholeheartedly think we can get a very solid solution if we prove to someone there is enough interest.

And if the oil is going anyway, isn't it now just forced higher up the crankcase than it was before with
less capacity on that end? The answer still may be just more overall capacity.

LOL that's what I was picturing
That's what I was wondering. I guess more of a "wall", from moving the floor upward, would help prevent oil from moving that way?
This makes me want to revise my pan and build a version 2.0.
I got ideas!
I don't see how the ramp then stops that. If anything, gives it an easier path to get to that end, no?

The slant helps the oil drain back to the sump better as g-forces go down.
