When I bought my 99 Z28 a lil while back I changed the oil & put Quaker State 10W-30 Full Synthetic oil in it. I would have put Mobil 1 10W-30 full synthetic in but Autozone was out. I have noticed that my oil pressure runs extremely high. My oil pressure runs at 45 psi when idling at 210 degrees & soars past 70 psi when at WOT. It kind of scares me to see it go so high. Would I be better off running 5W-15 full synthetic?
I'm sure that synthetic oil allows for more power. Back in the day I had my 85 & 88 Mustangs I read a article in Mustangs & Fast Fords that had a dyno comparison with 10W-30 multi grade oil & 10W30 full synthetic oil. The synthetic oil was good for 7 RWHP on a Mustang.

just make sure the crank case can breath and that oil pressure should be fine. the rec runnig 5/30 so 10/30 is the same just colder temps u will see more pressure. when i idle mine is about 40-45 also i wouldnt worry its nomal pressure i think
