How much oil do you run with?
I have heard that oil starvation is a big problem with LS1s, especially in high G corners, but I would think hard launches could starve the front of the bottom end. I have heard of guys running as much as 7 quarts with a stock bottom end and stock pan.
How much do you use?

7 qts with a filter here. If you run AX with 6, you are really risking a rod bearing.

Great links Mitch, I hadn't seen your post until now. I will definitely run more than 6 quarts if I plan on AXing or open tracking. Looks like 7 is a pretty good amount to run.
