Seems like you could find a safer way to squeeze out a bit more performance w/o sacrificing engine durability. And that's ASSuming you can verify that removing the filter does, in fact, show improved on-track performance.

Ok, why do we remove the air filter or run the drag car without one? Anything that restricts flow..

I don't consider that an apples to apples comparison for "restriction" examples, but maybe it's just me

I am always amazed at what some backyard mechanics can come up with - some really good ideas and then some really bad ideas - then there is the ones that leave me with no words!

Not just you. The oil pump is a positive displacement pump. The engine is not. The oil pump will pump a fixed volume with each rotation, with or without a filter. You need to shorten the rotor length to reduce the oil pumped and reduce the hp to drive the pump. Reducing spring pressure will tallow the ho consumed by the pump too.

I want to thank everyone for their input. I'll go with Baldwin or Jomar at the next oil change.
