What I am reading is to bump to 0w-30, shim the pump, and watch temps/psi. Sound correct?
Are you tracking your car? If not you don't need to do anything at all, stick with the factory recommended 0w-20 and enjoy years of trouble free reliability. Under track conditions it's pretty easy to push a stock car into the 280* range.
