Anyone install a Performance Windage tray in the oil pan? Ford Racing and others companies claim up to 12 HP with this mod...

 

A 12 hp gain with an engine that didn't have a windage tray yes that is possible but the S197 GT engine has a windage tray from the factory as do some other Ford engines. It is possible that some of the aftermarket windage trays are a little better than the Ford one but better enough to produce a 12 hp gain, no Sir. Save your money and skinned knuckles for something else.

 

+1, there is a stock unit in place and I highly doubt an aftermarket version will be that much better. I'd save the cash for something else.

 

If you are already going to have the stock pan down or the K-member off for another reason, I would be tempted to change it. Other than that, money better spent somewhere else.

 

I agree with everyone. I swapped out for the canton and it is a nice piece, but if I hadn't already been putting in the eliminator oil pan, I wouldn't have done it. I agree - if you're in there already, it's a nice cheap mod and why not?

Otherwise, spend your money elsewhere IMO.

BTW: The gains and numbers you here about windage trays are usually referring to pushrods without them.

 

..Thanks guys...was just going through all available power goodies and came across this. Another "too good to be true" part...lol

 

For us anyway. Great mod for the money for pushrods.
