Balance Shaft Delete?

[Memphis-EcoStang]

I know on the Focus ST the BSD was a popular mod for reducing rotational mass- however it required a pan baffle- I cant find a BSD kit for the 2.3 ecoboost that includes a baffle, does this engine just not need a baffle or has it not been developed?

Never read anything that the EB needed a baffle pan with the BSD. Adam did post this the other day in another thread about EB oil pans:
"...3rd part number for the factory oil pan. The oil pan is interesting because the first one had baffles, second one had no baffles with threaded holes, and third one has no baffles and no threaded holes for baffles. More than likely this was a supply change, but the design had noticeable changes as well and honestly for the worse (no baffle)."

Where? It's not on their page here.

edit: Never mind I thought you were talking about the BSD.
