Logged 5 sessions Saturday for a total of 8 using Bill Walkers oil Control plate, it is working great. Pulled my TMIC before the weekend, not a trace of oil in the IC or intake and oil pressure is solid.
a couple of videos from the 3rd, had a little spin playing with the how deep I could go in while playing with a Porsche GT3 and 1st session of the day.

Mitch: It's great to see you hang with a GT3. How fun is that?

biknman, I will get a data screen shot up in the next day or so.
Rob, the GT3 and I were having fun, our fast laps were a few 1/10s apart. He could close up a few car lengths on the straights (500hp will do that) and I could get them back plus a little from T5-14.

Zach Rack at ABI photo sent over some shots of playing with the GT3 93695 93696
The Porsche looks big when comparing to the 818.

I like the tire tracks coming out of "deception" turn. I think some of them are mine.

Bob I think you need to come back and put down some fresh rubber.

A couple of screen shots from the 1st session and 3rd session on the 2 mile NCM West track. The data from all 5 sessions are all showing consistent data. As you can see the my wet sump oil pressure is rock study. Before Bills plate we would see a 5-7psi dips but still looked pretty good with the plate the line is flat and OP stays a few psi higher. I removed the intercooler today and it is dry. IMO Bills plate is something that is worth investing in if you plan to autocross or track your car with a wet sump.

That's great news. Do you have an accumulator too or just the standard wet sump oem setup plus Bill's plate?

Gator,
How's your car coming along?
No I don't have an accumulator. What I consider a basic track ready wet sump, KB pan, Bill Walkers baffle, KB Oil Control Valve and Crawford AOS. With Bills plate I have removed the KB windage tray. The car has been on track with this set up since August of 2016 and with Bills baffle since July.

Very close to track time. It's at Surgeline getting tuned. There were injector issues. I hope to have it on track at ORP for club day lapping Oct 6-7.
There is one small glitch, a customer decided on his own to drive into the dyno bay. With employees yelling at him to stop he ran over my trunk/hood lid, the one with two humps, and smashed it pretty good. They are ordering a new one......he said he couldn't find a close parking space outside so he just drove into the dyno room!
Is your AOS filling up? I think it has a drain back to the block? Is your PCV system all still there?

It is a drain back, it both vents to and drains back from the AOS to the PCV port at the back of the block. The oil and filter are regularly changed and the oil has always looked like it did when it came out of the bottle. As I have mentioned my TMIC and intake are also dry.
