I will be assembling my 428 in a few weeks and was considering using my full length windage tray again. The oil pan had a baffle installed earlier. With a baffled pan is the windage tray effective or needed at all?

RPM, use the tray, but drill it full of 5/16" holes for drainage. I drilled mine about an inch apart. If you are going to race, a crank scraper would be a good idea. The ones that I have used from Warrior took a lot of time to get to fit perfect, but I see Paul Spotts has one now, and it's less expensive.

Everything Warrior sells is expensive, and a restocking fee of 30%, even if he sends Me the wrong parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus he cusses at my employees on the phone. A real business like attitude. I guess he made his millions. LOL.

I don't care for the attitude there either. They talked me into an oil pan that ended up not fitting. When I called to tell them about it they dismissed it saying that something had to have been altered on the car to create the situation. Any other time I called before that I got the feeling I was bothering them. Never again.

Doing business with Warrior makes as much sense as poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick. How do they stay in business? They don't have anything you can't get elsewhere while dealing with nicer people to boot.
I bought a set of rebuilt rods from them that were supposed to be shot-peened, beam polished, weight matched, etc. Well, the bevels on the big-ends had some nasty nicks and gouges in them, and it turns out there idea of "shot peening" is what most shops call "shot blasting" which is really nothing more than cleaning up the part with a spray of small metal shot. It does NOTHING to stress relieve the surface, and in fact my rods didn't look any different than untouched rods. They won't get another dime from me.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
