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.

How much did you overfill the sump?
