I used 5w-30 synthetic over the summer but I'm about to be supercharged, what should I use?

RE: What type of oil should I use?
I use ChemTech synthetic (boost blend - more zinc and other crap I guess). In tests it blows away Royal Purple and Mobil 1. I currently get it through a local shop (Evans Racing) and don't know where else it is available. I'm trying to find website info but I think it may be wholsesale only currently. It's supposed to be a really good oil.
They just did a dyno comparison with a local motorcycle shop's drag bike ('Busa). They ran a baseline test, changed the oil using their synthetic motorcycle blend and gained 3 whp. That's right, 3 hp at the wheel from an oil change. This is considering that nothing changed except the oil and the two pulls were minutes apart.

if you dont have thousands in upgrades you dont need to get synethic oil. regual oil i recommend penzoil is fine.

With synthetics today, it's down right stupid to not use them, even on a stock car!
You do realize that a heavily modified engine will run more efficiently and actually produce less wear & tear on the internals (up to a certain HP amount)? A stock engine can actually need more oil protection for casual driving.
