'stock' as in not exotic?
I would think that the crank/rods could be ground to -10 or -20, so that appropriate non-stock sized bearings could be used, just the 'stock' material. no exotic bearing material.
just a guess on my part, though
oil baffle plates ready to ship!
Among getting ready for the runoffs, we found enough time to get these done.
They were completly drawn up and then laser cut to make a complete drop in replacment. The area that is for the pick up box, actually has vertical planes that were bent up, to provide strength and to avoid warping during welding. We also made the plate out of thicker material, the results are fantastic.
8 plates in stock, ready to ship. Can also be used as a template on how much to slot the bolt holes on your oil pan.

Pans with the internals rotated 180 deg.
Phoenix Race Works has revised pans with the internals rotated 180 deg.(trap doors, pick up, and baffle plate) ready to ship.
The new wet sump system sells $750 and includes a new pan, baffle plate, and pick up ready to bolt right on.
To Loshak or other with similar problem
To the problem of an oil pressure drop under braking. In Loshak's case I have to assume this is with the full blown "moist-sump" ;) system. Still having a pressure drop seems odd since you'd rule out a pickup issue (fed from external tank to pressure pump) except I'm curious where the tank is located. The only reasons that seem plausible would be a change in the crankcase pressure (anyone measuring this?) showing up on the oil system or getting back to the location of the tank if it's forward of the pump?, under braking the oil in the feed line would be working against the pump, seems unlikely that it could cause much of a drop but if simply feeding the stock pump from a remote tank causes a pressure loss it might be a factor. I'm sort of new to this bike engine stuff but have co-designed an FB car which we ran for the first time recently, so I'm trying to get ahead of any problems.
