354/424 mods in sig. Mobil 1 0-40 ESP. It is free for me and it's good enough for the $200k cars I work on.

I use amsoil 15w50 racing oil year round. Never dyno'd my car but it ran 12.400@112.3 in the 1/4 the other day. Stock 03 9.8 turbo and cams and IC and pipes. Cone filter, TBE, IX BOV, 255HO and injectors are my power mods. 85K miles.

The 354 WHP part is acceptable to me. However, the 424 WTQ denominator with your limited mods is hard for me to believe. I take it that you are making this claim with an VIII, with stock cams, stock TB, stock unported head, stock IM, and pumpgas. Probably you have some undisclosed mods, duh!

Nope! I have done a lot of research and run what I think is best. I like posting polls to gather info.

10W-30 is the Normal oil used by most for stock turbo full bolt on even fp red cars. Most people with Built motors like to run different types depending on what is recommended by the engine builder
