Bob,
The oil engineers warn about using an oil that covers more than 30 points in 
a high revving engine.  The viscosity enhancers are very long chain polymers 
that tend to break down through the mechanical shearing of the oil at high 
rpm, leaving you with a very low viscosity base stock .  I'd stay with the 
20-50.
