I don't have a list of professional references one company that is near me JW that I visit fairly often describes that the 3.2's often have an issue at high (6000) rpm where oil goes across and down the intake system. After hearing from so many places to run a qt. low..that's why I made the comment. If this is all internet lore and wife's tails... I guess it could be. On the other hand other than your post I have never heard or read that one should keep the oil level up to the top mark. Very likely just putting down the road...there would be no issue, AX and track could be another issue. When I took the top of the intake system off my car the other day...I saw some evidence of oil but that was in the form of a black layer of soot or not sure what to call it. If Henry or John Walker say to always fill to the top for AX and track for reasons...then I'll reconsider. btw - I daily drive my 89 3.2 with ax and track days, I wish I had the power of your car.
