When I first blew my smoke bomb due to overfilling I was looking into the larger "motorsports" AOS, deep sump kits, accusumps, etc... After a lot of reading and talking with knowledgeable folks on here, I came to understand that it was because my oil was overfilled.
In the future if I keep on doing track days I may do those items (deep sump probably first with improved X51 style baffle; I really like the look of the FVD Oil Pan but it is $$$:
FVD Motorsport Oil Pan:Porsche Parts & Porsche Accessories - Wholesale Porsche Parts & Tequipment ) but since I am running street tires and not driving anywhere near the limits of the car I feel like I am safe from the sustained cornering at high g force oil starvation issues. Once I can drive at the limits on street tires and am ready to upgrade to the next level of suspension and tires I will revisit.
