And I have more compression and much less weight. Thus unless the Cobra has a pulley I can beat one from a dig with the same size motor while being NA

Honestly, when I bought my Cobra I didn't know that much about the engines other than they were forged from the factory. After the first 3 months, I couldn't believe how many quirks they have. They are very finicky and have to be treated more differently than anything I have ever owned.
I would not change the tolerances when you have the engine builder put the engine back together. Just run what Ford recommends (Motorcraft 5W-20) and you will be ok.

Why the name calling?
You're the idiot that cannot keep a FORGED 450rwhp motor together longer than a week. Hell my poser 99 Cobra motor with the stock powdered oil pump gear along with powdered rods laster longer and went into the 10's. My 95 with the stock motor and turbo also went longer...ah you know not worth it. 
I think you should just get a Camaro and let Hiho hold your hand so you don't end up hurting yourself.

Quote me where I said that. You need to put that shovel down bud. I think you're already 6 feet deep.

How bout this quote from Mike Riley since I obviously have no idea what I talk about 
"Moving to 5w20 was driven by ... CAFE requirements. The company believes the switch to lighter viscosity 5w20 oils will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 190,000 metric tons a year and reduce US fuel consumption by over 21,000,000 gallons a year."
Ford did the switch from 5w30 in 1999 to 5w20 in yep you guessed it...identical 4v motors because of this. NO WAIT! It was because of the tight clearances in the motor.
Why shouldn't you use 5w20? Wait for it....wait for it...
connecting rod bearings. But really any place that is metal to metal and relies on oil lubrication will suffer. Now IMHO a PERFECT oil for a 4v is the good ol 5w30. But run what you want. Heater PM me if you want more info on this.
