I use 15w50 Mobil 1 in my 430 rwhp 2001 ZO6. Better anti wear additive properties compared to 5w30/10w30 Mobil 1, plus ~2psi more oil pressure at idle.

Only run rotella if you have no cats that is the reason regular oil does not have it because of emissions. It is good for cars that had flat-tappet camshafts. Take a look at the german castrol thread in this section, it seems to be like the hottest oil going right now.
