Default RSR Ran Up...good stuff or snake oil?

I just read an article on MOTOIQ on the latest oil additive out there...RS-R Ran Up

http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...-a-bottle.aspx

Wanted to see what everyone thinks about this stuff, particularly @ 50 buck a bottle...discuss!

@ 50$ a bottle and for what? A questionable 5-10hp gain and .5 MPG? No thanks.

I read a totally "unbiased" dyno test of this a couple years ago in Import Tuner. Claimed to net results. Only way to find out is buy some and try it.

I'm going to put down an order for a bottle and test it on my 07 G35x (V36).
I've seen ceramic based lubes being run in Porsche's with 10K-20K oil change intervals while I was visiting Russia (Ceramic/Synthetic combination, made the oil look like Almond milk!). I don't care much about the HP, only the longevity & protective based properties of ceramic based oils on high revving engines.

EU based company LIQUI-MOLY has produced a similar product and is used in race engines & lasts up to 50,000KM > http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/w...archive49.html

Who knows, this may be the next big change in automotive industry. That and Waterless Engine Coolant... http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/...oolant/1376127
