Oil Additives

Has anyone ever experimented with oil additives. I used a product called ER in my ride and it felt great. It seemed to spool up quicker. I was just wondering if anyone has dyno tested them.

Most evo owners i know personally use mobil 1 or any other quality 10-30 oil and change every 3000-3500 miles? I used to use additives in my old 88 5.0, seemed the oil pressure was much more sensitive in that car, but in my IX the temp and pressure seem pretty stable with mobil 1.

Which is why I was asking for dyno results.

I got this stuff from a friend who is an AMSOIL dealer. He races enduro and puts it in everything. When he puts it in his bikes, he has to readjust the timing because it will advance on him. This stuff is what Slick50 was supposed to be (Slick50 is junk, BTW). It is a metal conditioner that makes the metal slick. Ball bearing tests did not spark till over 100lbs. Conv. oil is around 10lbs.

When Dynoflash did a street tune on my car, he said that he has never been in a stock Evo that pulled as hard as mine (I never mentioned the ER to him)
