Has anyone installed this windage tray? Being that we MM owners likey the high RPM's. Does the install involve taking down any other major components besides the oil pan? price isn't too bad. Does DR have the hookup?

<BIG>CANTON RACING PRODUCTS, 4.6 / 5.4 FORD WINDAGE TRAY KIT</BIG>What does a Windage tray do?
(NOTE: Moroso Eliminator 7 Quart Aluminum Oil Pan listed at bottom of this page)
Windage is the flow of air within the crankcase. Each time a piston comes down in the piston bore the air under it is pushed into the crank area and each time the piston goes up the air is pulled in behind it. In a eight cylinder engine all eight pistons go up and down each revolution. At the same time the rotating assembly is spinning and churning the air. Oil coming off of the crank is also put into the mix. So as the RPM increases so does windage. At 6000 RPM’s the assembly is rotating 100 times a second.
A windage tray keeps the windage around the crank from the oil in the sump area. It allows oil coming off the crank to easily enter the sump without the windage affecting the oil already in the sump. Windage trays keep the oil in the sump from getting into the rotating assembly when the action of the vehicle is in motion increasing 15 to 18 Hp at 6000 RPM.

Yes its real easy with the pan off of courseOriginally Posted by rayjay
Dennis, is the OEM tray worth replacing with a aftermarket one? Looks like the one 1st posted about here is a better design, but I'm certainly no expert.Originally Posted by Dennis Reinhart
