More is better with fluids as it can provide opportunity to route to a larger, remote cooler set-up limiting fear of potential starvation. The finned pan also helps a bit with heat dissipation. I suppose ground clearance should be considered depending on application. My car sits so low I'd worry a bit. for example.

I already run the cooler. Just sick of the leaking pan gaskets. As you know the steel ones get bent up after years of over tightening and the cast ones with rubber gaskets perform better. I just have a query on the filter extension. I don't want to commit to something that has unique parts in it.

The steel ones are cheap and bent , the cast ones are more expensive and break when hitting something . Something to think about.
Otherwise the cast are the best thing. More oil , better cooling.

ok I think the extractors/ headers sit lower than what the pan will, so have ordered one.
