For a street car, absolutely not on both accounts; I think the EDGE Professional should be perfectly fine on a street car.

On a race track in the summer, I have some doubts as oil temps are in the 230-240°F range and the new oil will have lower viscosity. Whether that increases bearing wear (a weak point on this engine), I won't know until I get some Blackstone reports this year.

I will report back. Since most dealers are selling this, I will use the oil and let objective oil analysis help decide whether I will keep using this or switch.
