Default Oil Pan question

Oil Pan question

Hi all, I am a newbie and here is my first question to this great forum:

Do all big block oil original GM pans come with baffles and trap door? My oil pressure drops to zero when going flat-out around long bends and I wonder if my oil pan is just plain, with no baffles or other means to keep the oil in place.

Will fitting the GM pan (P/N 14091356) that comes with baffles and the trap door remedy the problem?

Thanks ahead!

I know that all big block oil pans did not come with baffle or trap door from the factory. I would guess that none of them did.
