RE: Royal Purple or Royal Baloney

I use it, and you can't tell, I asked a RP rep, and he stated that there test were from an independent shop and they got 10hp but you need to replace Engine, Tranny and Rearend oils to get those numbers. I can get the same results from Mobil Oneor Amsol oils

I tried it back when I raced in the NMRA.. Many of the FS racers were using it and it did pick up 9-10whp. The problem is by the 5th pull it was back to what it made before the oil change. It was talked about as being "final round oil". I ended up using crude 5w20 with half a quart of Lucas. My engine would pick up 9whp adding the Lucas and run the same over and over. I don't know that the Lucas was helping or fixing a problem with the oil I was using. With stock lifters and high spring pressures gains would be had, on a stock engine I don't know what the outcome would be.

Hey I have been around FS for quite some time as well, I help out with my buddy Troy's FS car. Anyways yes super light weight Roayal Purple will add HP but as has been said, you need to change all the fluids in the car to see the increase. In an all out, heads up class every little bit helps, but for your typical street car it is not going to help.

RE: Royal Purple or Royal Baloney

I wouldnt say 10 hp, maybe a couple. The biggest difference I first noticed is my exhaust note changed a little. Less load on the rotaating assy and all I guess. The engine did seen a little more responsive but nothing to indicate gains like they are saying.
