Baffle no imo..
Pick up - yes - done on hoist if not stripping engine. Pull sump off.. They have a relatively high failure rate..

If you are going to track the car do the baffle cheap insurance if you don't roll the dice.

sump can be done on vehicle. but is a pita due to the proximity of the crossmember and headers

Car never really had any detonations, at least according to the ecu knock sum reading. Only really heard it once during a high speed pull.

Really hard to find info on good oil for e85, msr over east uses mobil 1 delvac, but its for diesel. Maybe they think the extra detergent has good resistance against fuel dilution?

Plenty of people on here running E85 now Gordon with no oil issues . I think you're focusing too much on oil quality being a factor rather than oil flow . As long as regular changes are done oil degradation isn't a factor

Small high jack, so I do apologise, but Killer B have a 2.0 and a 2.5 pickup, so what would be applicable for a 2.0 running the 2.5 sump for twin scroll?

I think they are reffering to '2.0L sump' as the the 'square-ish' sump, and '2.5L sump' as the 'triangular' sump. Usually reffered to as the 'half moon sump'. I reckon go for the one that matches the sump you are using. Not the block your will be using.
