Zeke, just look at the windage tray design and you will see that it is perhaps the ISSUE WITH STARVATION. as the oil cannot return back into the sump fast enough to feed the pick up tube.

At high revs alot of oil ends up in the valve covers, travelling up the pushrods.....this oil cannot get back very fast through the lousy designof the tray....So I butcher them and only use them to control splash and slosh in the case....

My tangerine header sits higher than the engine case, everywhere..case in point above had a Kerry Hunter header andit was wiped clean as well.........

Difference was that I had about 60 hours in that engine case........2813cc daily driver!!]]]

TIV syndrome is a situation where the case web that supports the pick up tube is broken, from overtightening the sump screen plate.......the tuna can multiplies it by thousands of times, as it hangs low.
