I really value your opinion obviously, I would have never been testing this without your threads. In honesty I wont run the car in winter anymore because its already a rust bucket after two years. But I think after this discussion I'd just run two oils going forward. IN winter for sub zero starts stick with 0w20. In summer track months go to 40w. 10w30 redline is a thick oil and at 245F oil temps, pressures go terminal.
The bigger issue is I dont think people who track these cars with FI monitor this at all. My setup is ultra conservative compared to most.

For sure I think people should be running two different oil viscosities based on temperatures/seasons. The two viscosity choices will be debated to death but trust your oil pressure gauge above all else if forced induction. I think NA guys have more leeway.
