WTF 264 WHP completely stock, now thats not bad at all, damn! I also am mixing redline tranny fluid, good stuff. Your friend should hook you up with lots of motor oil, redline's like $9 a quart.

im planning on running 15w-40 , because after reading other threads, i have been monitoring my oil pressure after hard runs and my oil pressure drops to 10-15 psi.... would anybody else agree about oil presure drops?

Running 15w-40 will raise your oil pressure but likely reduce the oil flow volume, which is basically just as bad as low pressure.
Also, are the pressures you're quoting at idle? That isn't a terrible hot idle oil pressure. Run it up to 2000rpm and see what it goes up to.

i will return to the track wednesday and update you guys how my oil is. okay.. thanks for your opinions and insights . and the dyno with 264hp/248tq was a fifth gear pull and i had 1400 miles on my car. i ran the gas tank empty and added an octane booster.. so please dont be too surprised the NOS additive might have worked.
