why do you want soo much oil ? adding oil just forces you to run a leaner mixture to get crisp throttle...a lower oil allows you to run a richer mixture and still keep crispy throttle response.....Also more oil will make the engine run hotter.....Now for breakin I can see adding oil...But for racing 13% is too much IMHO, and in the end wont do your engine much good if you tune for performance.... thats my story and I'm sticking to it !
