Back on the subject of oils, Brian you are right about 50 wt Mobil 1, but I 
NEVER made a run with oil temp at least 150 deg f and at 180 H20 temp.  The 
N/A motor now on methanol has a heat exchanger inside the oil tank with 
coolant flowing thru it, and I preheat both lube and coolant.  On one of my 
learning visits to the salt, I watched somebody destroy a Carillio rod when 
he made a "cold" pass.
My old turbo motors were easier to preheat, and had lots of  bottom end 
clearances that like it once everything was warmed up.  I flowed lots of oil 
at 60 to 70 pounds pressure.
There may be a few HP in running on the fine edge, like nascrap, but they 
have more resources than all of us combined. AND the run only 1 lap 
qualifying.  I would look at Indy car qualifying at Indy for better data. 
Problem is getting data.
Good luck this year.  I'll be quietly watching.
Oh, I am back to work on the liner, and have finally started enjoying it 
again.  Life is not normal, but getting better.
 I will never be quite the same....

Mayf, with production bottom end clearances I would not hesitate to use the 
multiweight oil.
