Another thing you have to think of is:: Side clearance. for a street engine I run .010/.012 on the bearing aand .006/.919 on the rods. For compition a few tou more. This allows more oil to flow thru the bearing cooling. Also Hi oil pressure can damage them, called flaking.
8 years on a stock car track, is a great learning experience.
