I learned, as you mention, that there are widely varying opinions on the subject which leaves many in the position of not knowing who to believe or what to do.
I came to the conclusion that the X-51 baffle and changing the oil pressure spring & piston was all that was needed (stock oil pan) for track days in a street car on street tires. Eventually, I added a deep sump, 997 oil returns, and the horizontal baffle after upgrading to the Spec Boxster suspension, R- compound tires, and having improved my driving to where I was quite a bit faster (and pulling more g's). |
Stone, of course there are several versions of the upgraded baffle unit, all of which say they are "the best". It looks like the one from Tarret,
Oil Sump Baffle Kit, 986/987/996/997 makes sense. On the spring and piston, are you talking about the ones in the oil pump itself? Have a PN?
