I agree with the ninja and would add the following.

To prevent oil slosh or surge, it's probably best to run with the "windage tray" installed. So, maybe reconsider your motor and whether you should run with one (for those cases that have this capability).

Consider modifying the windage tray and/or the pushrod tubes to conteract oil slosh where oil builds up in the heads while allowing quick return of oil to the sump. Does the "windage tray" actually have a meaningful affect on windage or is it more there to counteract oil slosh/surge" (it's below the cam and crank)?

Might also want to consider adding a deep sump versus the tuna can.

Take a look at this post, paying particular attention to NASkeet:
