[QUOTE="BruceH, post: 11413785, member: 106410"] I ran that combo with up to 15psi on an E85 Whipple. Upon teardown the rod bearings showed some light wear but considering the motor was putting down 599rwhp and drag raced it didn't seem bad. The mains looked real good. Ultimately it will depend on your bearing clearances. Most custom builders will set them a little loose to allow for a thicker oil and if that's the case you must use a higher viscosity or risk low pressure, increased wear, and an increased chance of spinning a bearing. I built my first motor with stock clearances. [/QUOTE]
