Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker

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.
