Looks like some nice too shelf stuff!
But I am curious, because I will admit this is an area I know little about? Just exactly how does this dual sump pan work? What I'm looking at, that seems really steep in the front. How does any oil that settles there find its way to being recirculated? I get that it's designed for drag racing, which make the baffles and windage on the rear side self explanitory. Other than a strong takeoff, how does that front sump serve any purpose? On a stock type pan, you can kind of see in the design how acceration forces oil toward the rear. Plus it's not as steep. Please understand I am not knocking this; I truly want to learn what it is I may be missing here. To me, from what I see it kind of only serves as a reservoir. Forum, please educate me here.

You're right there is always some oil present in the front sump until an external force acts on it like acceleration, a really steep incline, simply splashed by other oil, etc. And Steve is right it does give clearance for the oil pump as well and helps a with capacity as both sumps can be a shallower, but overall hold more oil.
