[QUOTE="SeikenFreak, post: 15273245, member: 122263"] Thanks for the response. Well I've never had a problem getting sick while driving myself. What you described is kind of what I meant by the driver being able to drive at speed vs on/off throttle or weird unexpected behavior. And I don't really want to blame the drivers because it's their track time, in the ferrari's case it was a race car so the throttle seemed like it was an on/off switch + sequential gearbox hammering into gears, and both cars had slicks so the braking and turn-ins were sudden and hard. Seemed like proper driving to me haha Just a lot of G's on my dainty neck. Kind of like when I slave away under my car holding my head up and after awhile my neck is killing me and I feel like I don't want to eat or whatever. Now add the weight of a helmet. That's what its like. The moments when they were able to drive at speed, and I was looking through corners as you described, is when it wasn't as bad. So awesome though. So my concern with higher weights is pressure at this point. It seems like running something as thick as 15 on a cold start up street engine (no time spent warming up) would do something bad somewhere in the engine.. If I was at 100+ PSI on 5w, I can't imagine what I'm at now with 10w. Obviously once it's warmed up to track temps or even normal operating, it seems a bit more reasonable. Is it going to bust seals/o-rings or screw with lifters etc? Are you running a 4.6 or a 5.0 btw? [/QUOTE]
