I would agree that if this oil can withstand the nature of the car under heavier load from having a more aggressive tune over stock, I'd rule that the 5W-50 would be good for unmodified as well.
It is well known that these engines run rather hot, and the key to longevity is maintaining a cool temperature. I do notice that the oil takes longer to warm up and retains more heat, but the other side is that the oil does not thin out once it reaches its normal hot state.

In sport plus drivetrain mode, what do your temps usually look like with the 5W-50? With the Liqui-Moly Molygen 5W-40, temps stay around 195 +/- 5 degrees, which I have been pretty happy with as far as thermal management is concerned
