I wonder if adding baffles to a street tire car is sort of solving for a problem that isn't quite there.... i.e. tracking the car with stock oil pan, if the used oil analysis is fine, is there really an issue?
I get that is cost isn't an issue, then why not, but for a more "budget" enthusiast, should baffles be at the top of the spend list?

I don't think so, no. I should have added that oil starvation is a particular concern for the S65 engine because the clearances in the rod bearings are excessively tight from the factory. Lots of S65 engines going "pop" lately, all due to excessive wear on the rod bearings.
