  • crank scraper and windage tray

    Has anyone here purchased/made a crankshaft scraper and an aftermarket windage tray to control the oil coming off of their crank?

    Apparently this is a big way to free up horsepower since everytime the oil splashes back up and makes contact with the crankshaft weights, the resistance is similar to that of you trying to run in water versus on land.

    I want to explore this further; I know you can knife edge the crank, but my engine is assembled already.

    As of right now I don't know of any aftermarket oil pans for us either.

    The stock 3800 oil pan gaskets do have a sort of windage tray in them. Its not as good as a crank scraper but its better than nothing I guess.

    If your not doing NHRA stock eliminator theres better ways to pick up power.

      there are always easier ways to get power through things like sc/tc/n20, the trick to being fast is leaving no stone unturned and robbing back the hp that has been robbed from you... then you can go on to the easy stuff.

      I know we have somewhat of a windage tray from factory, but something tells me it's not the greatest.

      I want something better or I want to know how ours can be modified to be better and I want a scraper.
