From what I've read, Castrol Syntec is pretty good. Why do you guys think it is so bad?

People don't like Castrol Syntec b/c it is not considered a true synthetic oil. I use it and notice that my engine is much smoother with this oil. Wal-mart sells 5 qt jug of this oil for $19.95

I agree, no oil is better for the price. I might switch back to this oil when I put my Vortech in. That way I can change my oil every 2,000 miles and not break the bank.
