Would there be any point to it? Pros Cons? Is there any reason to remove my OMP and go to premix if its functioning??

for a track car, that would actually probably be best.. that way you know for a fact you are getting the right amount of oil. Pre-mix for the max amount of oil you could possibly need.

Unless you're running boost. The oil will lower the octane. That said, I use pre-mix for my AutoX car.

Premix is the way to go. You'll be spending 90% of your time above 6,000 rpm, make sure that you're lubed. I use Redline 2 stroke racing oil in my ITA/7 1st gen.
