Several things to cover...
I checked into doing the motorsports AOS and decided against it because of price. I could buy 13 factory AOSs for the price of a motorsports AOS - didn't make sense. I just bought a factory AOS and keep it on hand as a spare so I'm ready when the current one fails. I always take it with me to a DE.
I would recommend spending those $$$ on the IPD plenum & GT3 throttle body. One of the advantages of going this route is 1 less vacuum line into the AOS. I haven't had to replace the current AOS in my CSS that I use for DEs since I went IPD / GT3. The thing that is tough on AOSs is sustained high RPMs, which occur at the track. 1 less vacuum line into the AOS seems to prolong its life.
Low oil. If you run your oil level at the very top, then yes, running at a lower level will benefit you. Not sure you need to be a qt lower, however. Here's where you should run your level.

By running at this level, you ensure that you're not over-full. Running at the top level and the imprecision of the gauge, you could actually be over-full. An over-full situation will result in smoke as the engine purges the excess oil.
