What are your thoughts on running Redline 5w-20 in an LS2 chevy motor? It's specs call for a 30 weight but I read Redline 5w-20 has HTHS which is superior to many 30 weight oils. Thoughts?

There should be a couple of used oil analysis of Red Line 5W-20 in this engine family. This should be a very good fit.
Probably as long as you aren't tracking the vehicle, with your weather in SF, no problem, IMO.
However, if tracking. Stick with 5w30 RL. IMO...

The HTHS is higher on 10w30 Amsoil Z-Rod at 3.6! Also the NOACK is 5.2%.
The Z-Rod sounds fantastic in my LS2; quietter valve train noise than the 5w30 Mobil 1.
I highly recommend Z-Rod for the LS2 engine.
