I mostly drive it on the street but the previous owner installed a built motor for track driving.

Is it the driving conditions or the engine clearances that matter most? The engine has forged rods and pistons I'm not sure about the bearings. But the clearances are definitely looser and I thought thicker oils would provide better protection.
