What oil do you use in tuned engines?

Drunkenfool uses castrol 0w30 in his 200bhp(ish) redtop, but speaking today to the rally boys they would never use that grade in an engine like that

They all use 20w50 Millers oil in their redtops and some of them are making 264bhp

What do you use in these high bhp XEs and LETs?

Mines standard so not much help, but ive always been told to use gm 10w 40. any other oil and it taps to buggery until warm.
