Default Stock Oil setup OK on slicks?

I've got a track day coming up and I'm planning to run a set of full slicks for the day.
Heres my question - Due to the additional amount of grip that slicks provide and subsequently the additional amount of G loading on the car, would I have to modify the stock oil pan in order to avoid oil surging? The last thing I want to do is starve my engine of oil when she needs it most. So would the stock setup be OK?

Thx for the link.

How much of an impact would it have if I just run on the stock setup?

You should be okay with the stock set-up. Be shure to check your oil level after every session and keep it topped up. N/A vtec cars tend to use some oil on the track so your turbo car may also.
