Of course!  Duh, I remember now...

You might also consider a full baffle, like those that are found in the A3 engines.  I have driven SCCA with that baffle and not suffered any oil starvation.  Not only that, you get a bit more hp off the line with that one, as it keeps oil off the crank as it sloshes towards the back of the pan when launching.  I felt a big difference... 037-115-220-B, used on the TDIs...
