        Yeah.  When I lived in Houston I had access to ugly amounts of free
dyno time.

        I found in my own car an average (three baseline runs, three post
change runs) about 3Hp in my 87 Supra Turbo, at a bout 140k at the time.

        Doing a full driveline change from 'quality off the shelf'
synthetics to reccomended Redline synthetics about 9Hp.

        The VR4 should show technically a MUCH larger improvement, because
the theory should follow in a more complicated drivetrain, and it feels a
lot better too...an AWD dyno is just a tad hard to find tho *heh*.
