I have 65k miles, plenty of donuts/drifting, plenty of backroad twisty (similar to cali canyons but through the roads in Southern NY) time, on stage2+ e30.

Be nice to your cold engine, don't lug at low RPM, use good gas, and stay on top of your plugs/coils/oil. It is difficult to sustain the G's needed to cause pan based starvation at lower speeds (less than 80ish) on non 200 or less treadweight tires. I can't imagine you are pushing 80+ consistently through cali canyons and if you are, thrice revised and forged rod bearings are not what you should be worried about.

I will add that there are a ~few~ failures immediately followed by OFHG jobs, or even just oil changes. There are also a few grenades caused by OFHG leaking onto belts that slip off and then get sucked into the front main seal by the crank. If you are SERIOUSLY concerned unplug your injectors and crank the engine twice before you restart under power after an oil related job to make sure the oil system is primed. And change your OFHG the second it begins seeping (like I did at 50k)
