I've been using 20W50 for ever in my 90vert. I have also been using 15w40 diesel oils from time to time, based on my Porsche buddies enthusiasm.
I just changed to a 'thin' synthetic oil in my 90vert. Dino oil price has increased and Synthetic has decreased in my area. There is only $4-5 difference per oil change, so I went synthetic.
Cold engine cranking speed at 60* was noticeably faster. Not that it was a problem before...

as long as it got enough air flow I don't see why that wouldn't work. Unless the oil has trouble flowing up vertically? I would think it would be ok at 60psi but maybe not...

I've never heard of such a thing... But it's definitely an interesting idea. I have a TMIC and I've been wanting an FMIC for a while but I have not because of all the cooling issues people have with them. but if you had an FMIC, and a top mounted oil cooler with a TII hood...
