Would this device be effective in a road racing track car with a supercharged K?

What do you guys know or think about it?

I just saw a rotrex supercharged k series honda motor built to the hilt blow sky high from oil starvation at an extremely curvy track during Atomfest so...

Do you know if and what kind of baffling there was in the oil pan? I wouldn't think adding a supercharger would require much different oiling than a good baffled pan. Lots of other k series engines didn't blow up.

yeah I remember when the k-series first came out and pretty much everyone in H1 in honda challenge swapped over to them, and the sad thing is pretty much all of them grenaded thier engines from oil starvation, there was quite a bit of work done to get them road-race reliable, which is unusual. Funny thing is alot of those guys went back to thier b-series and h-series setups.
