Back in the day when VP was in oil business they made GL30-6 which was qualifying oil for nascar. This stuff is like water but it was a great gear oil. I put about around 400 runs on this stuff without any gear failure. Did not do a back to back myself but gave some to a friend who did. His car picked up .03 and 1/2 a mph. In ones search for speed you look for many small things that in the end add up to something bigger than what you had before. Tom
