A LOT of times I wish we had a small camera in the oil pan.. seriously.. I cannot explain a lot of what I see in data, but I have seen it in Boxsters/Cayman's/6's and 7's. The oil appears to be moving away from the pickup and then the pressure drop 1-2 seconds after the car makes the transition from flat to banking.
The issue is: you are already at high RPM (little to no oil in the pan area) and now add in the banking... The engines (just like any engine with a regular oil pan) it puts all the oil into the heads. Getting the oil back into the pan (and/or limiting it to the heads) is a BIG concern.
The X51 pan helps a lot by trapping the oil near the sump while the car is in the banking (or high speed transition)
