over filling oil can cause excessive blow by and damage cats. underfilling can cause starvation.

Awww...c'mon guys-- live on the edge-- go to the drag strip, fill oil to full line . Make a pass- if you have oil pressure in the traps, lower oil level. Repeat until oil psi gauge drops to 0 in the traps.
Then, once you have your level, adjust oil pressure relief until you have 6 psi per 1000 rpm
