Does 100% stock include the stock tune? Some people define stock as having to do with physical parts only. Others consider modded intake, air filter, and cat-back exhaust to still be 100% stock. I just want to see if you mean a real 100% or something else. Suspension, wheel, and tire work could lead to high-g cornering that could possibly starve a stock engine of oil.

Just curious. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of oil starvation issue on heavily-modded cars. Maybe there was a sneaky reason for the greasy stock tires?
