Re: Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker
Jimmy said the 9" Ford rear does it on the bench. My MPH going up immediately after adding lube (and that/this gear set not wearing) made me think he was correct. If Jimmy told me a pizz-ant could pull a freight train I would start trying to figure out how to hook that little sucker up. :-)

Jimmy told me this several times, and I'm pretty sure he is correct. I wish I had tried it before we had that 5.00 gear in the 12 bolt go away. Jimmy said it does affect the 12 bolt as well. He also said to use API GL-6 lube. I tend to listen to Jimmy, I've known him since about 1980 or so, and every time I've ignored his advice, it has cost me, one way or another.

Re: Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker
Question. If you put seals or baffles in the tubes to keep the lube at the gear do you need to worry about axle bearings?

Re: Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker
If your axle bearings are sealed, I wouldn't know why.

Re: Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker
Quite a few years ago, I read an article in a MuscleCar magazine in which they did a back to back comparison of regular and synthetic lubes in a '69 Hemi Charger with an A-833 4-speed and a Dana 60. IIRC the total difference between dinosaur oils and synthetics in engine/trans and axle was 3 tenths. Car went from 13.00 to 12.70 doing nothing but changing to synthetic lubes.
