Dont seem to understand the benefit on that, because that is not a problem when you use wetsump(original) solution. More beneficial hack is to modify the head with rerouted oil supply, strong gear to oil pump (Findland, Sweeden has those?!) and baffle to the sump (Alex - Error404) can help with that.

If you gonna rev to 8000 or over, the relifvalve starts to be open all the time, then there is gonna be oilstarvation on oilpumpegears/house. then its game over,

The situation happened on the picture above because of stock gear. With wetsump you rev the I5 till 8000max, over that then its your own fault if everything goes "Caput".
If you build the oil feed straight to the head, then it will limit the oil feed to the head significantly and it will "help" the starvation problem. But over 8k rpm is crazy with wetsump...

The elephant in the room is that at high rpm the pump scavenges the sump quicker than the oil drains back. You need more oil capacity and to improve drain back, limiting oil flow to the head (assuming you have mechanical valvetrain). You really need a dry sump system above 8k rpm or be prepared for failures - running components at their limit will never be reliable.
Well put, thanks Alex. Everyone's definition of safe vs. limit is up for interpretation. One of those grains of salt to be employed when reading/learning online! 8k rpm is plenty anyways
