The drainage is simply not adequate for very high speed left hand corners.
The sump should work though I would suggest tapping new drainage holes in the back of the head (in the corners) and running additional drainage hoses back to the sump.
Newer heads like on the gti-6 have two separate compartments for the inlet and exhaust valvetrain which eliminated this issue.

Yes i agree with your figures, ive spoken to hiflowheads and im getting some decent cams fitted and head modified to suit so hopefully around 190-200bhp rr depending...
The oil surge issue seems to be solved by the trap door design in the sump....it allows so much through then shuts apparently a few people who race mi16's says this cured it.
Plus rallying isnt anything like the grip you have all the time on a track (well not as much)
