Andy's been great to work with thus far. He talked my ear off the first time I called a few weeks back wanting a better, safer grade of oil!

Well, I did buy a truck and trailer in the past 2 weeks. So I'm not saying my Evo will be a trailer queen but it'll be treated nicely in route to the track! I know there's some even stronger racing type oils that we can work with now. I'm pulling a few more things for weight as well.
Heck yeah!

boomn29 , i know we reccomended the 10w40 and AMS also did recomend it, it is a great oil and now that you are towing the car thats even better.
however if there is place to improve you engines situation with the best oil posible we will work with you very closely to make that happen.
i know i can get a little talkie there
but i is my duttie to ensure i provide you with the propper information
like i said before your sponsorship is being worked on as we speak, i will let you know when we need anything from you as far as info

Previous two times at the track, after the cool down lap, I would have a slightly flickering oil light at idle. This was with Mobil 1 10W30. I haven't installed a proper oil pressure gauge yet so I don't know what the oil pressure was. Anyway, this seems to be somewhat common and may just be a bad sender.
But yesterday I ran with Redline 10W40 and got no oil light flicker. I don't know if it was because it was Redline, or 10W40, or perhaps both.

Got some temp updates for ya:
This is on a ~300whp car running an AMS pump gas tune, 3" exhaust and a heatwrapped downpipe:
1) Mobil 1 5w30 - Ambient 95 - 3 hot laps - 262-268 degrees peak
2) Mobil 1 5w30 - Ambient 75 - 3-5 hot laps - 255-262 degrees peak
3) AMSoil 10w40 - Ambient 85 - 8-10 hot laps - 245-255 degrees peak
Maybe my car likes to run 262 degrees; I dunno. I captured some of the oil when I pulled it last month for scenario #1 and will be sending it into Blackstone labs for some feedback. It looks to have ran a little cooler with the AMSoil 10w40, but that might just be because it's thicker. I'm more concerned with what protects me up at those temps and I have a feeling AMSoil does the trick better.
I've got a big order into AMSoil for their RD 10W30 which is their Racing 'Dominator' oil. So I'll send report back in August.
