I am not sure if u can get about 16rwhp from it. But the reason why is gives one more hp, is becuase it is able to flow so much more easily then any other oil. You will feel some gain, because it is able to flow through engine so much easier, but 16rwhp might be a bt much!<br /><br />Josh <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SwayracingSVT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2180</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,11,15,20,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for the input, i did think a gain of 16 hp was a bit much!
