I would say he needs to take a break from whatever is stressing him out.
The type of oil used has very little to do with creating massive amounts of
additional horsepower but a lot to do with making a motor last. A better
discussion is that of the removal of the zinc and phosphor additives for the
new formulations of most oil these days. That's causing a LOT of additional
wear and more than a few engine failures...

Subject: [Vintage-race] What Oil Do You Use?
I had a conversation recently with a guy who insists that vintage racers do
NOT use synthetic oil. I told him, in that case, I must have been racing
newer cars as I have been using synthetic oil in my vintage racers since
1999 once the engines have been broken-in. But, he is adamant that we ONLY
use petroleum-based oils.
What do you folks on the Digest use?
