Which type of oil to use

All you 20/50 lovers, you car will do the same with 10/30, and just do it better. ET slip and MPG. Do you know your bearing clearances, if not you should.

Now an engine with 350+ horsepower probably won't sound or feel different unless you are drag racing it, then the time slip will tell you the difference.
Even 1000 plus HP engines can see a difference with thinner oil on a dyno. You'd likely never feel the difference, but as you eluded to, it's there.
