Bill:
I would add that my hero, David Vizard, says that the synthetic
lubes are
good for extra horsepower due to reduced friction. Reason enough to
use it if you are into performance at all.
In a small block V8, they are good for 2-3% more HP, in our
motors about
the same(?). Say 3% more HP. Add a K&N air filter (good for 2% more
power)
and that is 5% without breaking a seal on the motor.
Let's see... 5% more is.. uh... multiply by 5 and divide by one
hundred..
No, wait. That's multiply by 100 and divide by 5... crap.
Well, its *LOTS* more that's for sure.
zoom, zoom.

Redline is the way to go ... been using it in Casper (TR3) for years
in the engine, gearbox and differential ... best there is as far as I
am concerned ... and like Fred says "the extra cost is worth the
peace of mind"
You only have to know a few racers to know that Redline is the
standard by which all others are judged ... It is the gear lube
recommended by Herman Van den Akker and Richard Good and that is
enough endorsement for me ...
