Boost, what viscosity oil do you use on the track for your boosted car? What temps are you seeing and do you utilize a cooler, both tranny and oil?
I'm running Mobil1 EP 15w-50. I have an oil cooler and Dewitts rad.

I just did a track day yesterday @ Pocono, beating the snot out of the car lap after lap after lap for 20-25min a session. Highest oil temp I saw was 264 at the end of the last session and the coolant was 246.

with the heat out here in SOCAL, I guess sticking with the 15w-50 is a safe bet for the summer and maybe if it cools down soon enough, I will try out the 10w-30.
