I'm an amsoil guy as well. I was using 5w-30 Signature with my boosted setup but now switched back to 0w-20 signature after i installed my oil cooler.
Mainly did not want to go through the hassle of draining the cooler to switch to 0w-20 for the winter. I also noticed that my oil now takes much longer to warm up ( 15-18 minutes to get to 190F versus @brillo said 8 minutes on his NA non oil cooled setup ). I'm glad I went back because the 5w-30 could take even longer to warm up. Something to chew on.

at this point I'm going to stick with the 0w-20 amsoil with my oil cooler and do an oil analysis to see how its holding up. for a properly cooled NA car I would think the ow-20 should be fine for light track and auto-x use.
