I've previously used 10w30 but I won't anymore.

WHY!? Where is the analysis data for 10-30 EP vs. 0/5-40. This is what im talking about, I WANT DATA! I searched BITOG and didnt find any, although I am known to be blind at times.

I used M1 10w-30 in my car. When I switched to a heads and cam setup with a ported oil pump I believe I used 5w-40, or what Speed, Inc. recommended. When I made this change I picked up extra oil pressure. But, with a ported oil pump the pressure is still down, but the volume is there and the valvetrain only needs 15psi to get up to the lifter valleys (from what I have been told).
I will most likely use 5w-30 M1 for my supercharged LS2.

I used Mobil One but tried Royal Purple in the exact same weight. Start up noise got very quiet and seems to be doing well. It's expensive but I'm happy with it so far.

You bastards jinxed it 
1200 miles (600 was a recent roadtrip) and I checked the oil and its 1/3-1/4 qt down from when I filled her up. you jinxing bastards I guess I will try 0-30 GC to stop the "usage" (although its not all THAT bad...)

That was with valvoline synpower 10W30.
