Recommended Engine Oil ?

WOW! You guys really take your oil serious around here. I work for Valvoline and we don't think about oil nearly as much as you. Lots, well not lots but some good info in this thread though.

Actually we think about horsepower. Oil is just one piece of the puzzle.

Personally I like to compare Eds 2900 pound 522 inch aftermarket headed, compressioned up car to Grossi's 454 flattop pistoned, 2.06 valved peanut port, Q-jet equiped SS/GTA sunfire, of course I dont think Franks ever had the opurtunity to run out there at Disneyland, like Ed runs at NEGATIVE 2000b feet air, with a 30.50 baro, but somehow Franks 8.70s look pretty good to me right now., what part of the truth dont you like Ed??????????.

Typical misinformation from a self promoting chump, here to solicate business.

3144 lbs. and I have NEVER raced in -2000 foot air!

Running 8.90's yesterday with a restrictor plate in 3500 foot air with a 28.9x barometer

Got to go, it's the weekend, I'm racing, something the ebay engine building chump above doesn't do!

Good luck today! really dont need anymore buisness, thank goodness. See Ed we got this 10 inch tire 3250 pound 68 camaro, single 4 bbl NA, Id be more than happy to come back there to "Disneyland" and hand you your *****, but this would heads up, if the moneys right, for one time in your life, just step up. Our season starts next week, heads up, 10 inch tire, all motor racing...........

Dang it! OK Ed I'll bite, you raced @3500 ft. in New Jersey... didn't know there were mountains in that state. Either that or it was 95 degrees 80% humiditry plus your stated barometer. You went 8.90 with a RESTRICTOR PLATE, I knew Nascar used them on the super speedways to slow the cars down, I have to ask.... what are you using one for? NO really this is a legitimate question. So lets recap you state your car is faster than mine..it is, it runs 8 tenths faster with over double the cubes and weighs a whopping 170 lbs. more. Really I fail to see what all the puffery is about. However carry on. Joe

Joe,

I think the 3500' is where his ego races.

All the weather stations I looked at over the weekend in New Jersey ranged between 385' to just over 1500' depending on the time of day.
And baro was 29.51 to 30.09 uncorrected.

Ed races at Numidia pretty regularly....

It's in Pa. and up on a pretty good hill so it is well above sea level......

I have raced there when my weather station showed it was 4000' DA...

Mid 90's and very humid.....

We do have fast conditions and race tracks in this area in the spring and fall but not when it's summer time.....

I have seen well above 3000' at other tracks in summer time....
