I hear PMNA makes a kit for the Grand Am 911s that have to run a stock engine. It adds an oil pump externally and some plumbing thorugh one of the valve covers. It scavenges the oil that builds up in the valve area and returns it to the tank. Thats what happens with alot of cars the high G keeps the oil in the rocker area because it cant gravity flow down to the sump during the turn. If the turn is long enough the volumn of oil in the rocker area is so great that the level where the pump intake is gets low enough and the pump sucks air.

I imagine the PMNA fix is expensive.

One other thought I always thought a baffled oil pan would fix this type of problem on most vehicles - hopefully from my explanation you can see that a baffled pan does not help if all the oil is in the valve cover!!
