You would do well heed your admonition to me.

Your 22 years experience racing your Chevelle and your Firebird could have been well spent developing wisdom and interpersonal values rather than just an ego. Your impact on other people through relationship is far more valuable than any perceived success in the race world. Your great knowledge and experience is wasted because so few people will listen to you with any credibility. People simply don't give credence to somebody who consistently is demeaning, combative and disrespectful in their attitude toward them.

And this has become the topic of this thread.

Very well said.

my knowledge and experience is NOT wasted and infact often sought by those that know me and race with me. It's only those few on internet forums, whos ego and thin skin won't allow them to open their eyes and ears to someone that just might be more knowledgeable and have more on track experience than them. Respect is a two way street and when I offer advice and another poster counters my advice on the premise they know better, or I can't possiblely know because I'm a dumb bracket racers and/or calls or infers me to be a liar, expect I will respond accordingly.

OK last time I did not infer you are lying,I merely stated I found it "unbelievable". Folks claim to see bigfoot, loch ness moster and aliens too. I find their statements to be unbelievable, though I cannot personally disprove them, without actual proof I CHOSE to not believe them. Thankfully we still have that right.

I feel sorry for anyone that clicked on this thread hoping to learn if synthetic lubricants provided any performance gains

synthetic motor oil, in back to back tests are .03 quicker for us, but have no back to back tests on the ring gear.

When we first started using synthetic oil in engines ,we determined that it was less likely to cause detonation compared to hydrocarbon -[Dinosaur} oils,So some of the engines that were marginal on oil control picked up more power than those with good oil control.Bill C.
