Default Over filled my car with oil

Wondering how bad it is to overfill your car with oil I over filled mine by about half a centimetre 50mm and I seem to get oil leaking out of the cap when I redline her... Its a boosted sohc... Should I bother to remove some of it? Wanna start drag racing soon wheathers getting good.

too much oil is not the best thing for your motor, it tends to cause failure on your seals

having one less quart of oil is better than having one quart too many...
