you guys are idiots if your buying this... And some of you are turning the corner..

Noone doubts you dynoed at 215 then 230 with no changes to the car other than oil. But I'm telling you right now the oil isn't the difference. Dyno setup. Dyno operator. There's lots of variables.

Go talk to any reputable engine builder about which oil will give you 15whp and they'll laugh there *** off at you.

OP what gear did you dyno your car in and do you have a 5AT or a 6MT.

Also, you are saying the car stayed strapped down to the dyno while you changed your oil and then did another run?

Maybe thats what blew my motor....I had the oil changed a couple days before racing and didn't take into account the whp increase I would get. And all this time I thought it was from increasing the nitrous

maybe the first time he changed his oil he added a box of bb's and this time he drained them out and replaced with synthetek oil. I believe the OP, he def. got 15whp gain. All you others are just hatin. I got a box of that oil coming this week im changing my oil like 15 times. Then im racing my buddys TT Z i bet i run right next to him then.
