I'm still new to this forum thing if I knew how to thank you each I would... sorry
Judging from uoa's posted here, as well as input from engine builders on this forum, a thicker viscosity isn't needed. Even some guys that have added forced induction run 0W-20's (although more robust 0W-20's like Red Line and Motul 300V).
