Toward the end I experimented with running it a little fuller but discovered that it pretty quickly goes back to half due to oil ingenstion through the AOS (presumably) and that half seems to be the sweet spot.

Still on the same AOS nearly 100 track days later
Actually, it may have been you that put me on to that half way solution. I have no idea why I moved away from that this past event.
