The best way to prevent oil pressure dips is to use an Accusump, I have used it on everything from a GT4/5/lites to ITA Honda's. It is far superior to baffles, 1) you can mount the accusump all the way in the back right rear corner to help balance some weight, 2) put an easily reachable shutoff valve (near the shifter) so you can open if before you start the motor to "pre-prime" the block 3) the extra oil (and surface area) in the Accusump will help to keep the oil cool.
All of the guys running my "Bullet Proof Motors" run them, and we have never had an oil related failure in 15+ yrs of racing.
We used to run about a half qt low on purpose at places like roebling road in a d16a6 because the long side loads would end up just burning the excess. To that end, a scraper and better windage tray help, baffles not so much. I agree with Tom about running an accusump. Better some insurance than none, and pre oiling is useful.

I am running an accusump on my D16A6 Bullet motor and an OE pan. I have not seen pressure below 60 while on track. Usually it is around 75.

An Accusump will not help raise pressure, but works to stabilize what you have.
They have been around a long time and are very well thought of. All my race cars have them. In and of themselves, they do not weigh much. The plumbing and oil in them weigh more than the can!
Where are you plumbing it into a D15 motor?
