There was a post a while back on reducing the amount of oil you put into an engine to have similar effects, but I wouldn't recommend going too low.

yah, I've actually heard from numerous people that they still only run 5qts of oil even in their bigger 7qt oilpan.
My old motor used to use a good amount of oil, and one day at a dragstrip the check oil light came on. I checked it and it was only about 1qt low. I didn't have any oil with me, and I knew I would have a fresh motor soon anway, so I decided to keep on running it. A few passes later, I had my best pass ever at the time, which was also my 1st 12second pass. So I believe the talk about it adding a small amount of horsepower by not being slung around by the crank, but it sure makes me nervous running it low
