Yea, you gotta be on point and locked in when you ride, or you will eventually be a statistic. As soon as I hit the 600 mile break in point, I had it all apart. Changed the exhaust, and went to a 520 X-Ring chain and superlite sprockets, going up one tooth on the rear. With the Akrapovic full...

My fun speed vehicle. Biketoberfest was a blast!

Yup. Just balance it on a floor jack with wood or cardboard protecting it and you're golden. Pretty easy and straight forward.

Showing anything you want? Did you even watch the video? He has the data to back it up. This guy knows more about tribology than anyone on this board and in the video mentiond data is the most important part of backing up what you claim. Talk about hillbilly denial.

If you watched the video thoroughly, yes, 5w-30 will shear out of grade sooner, but even out of grade, it still provided great wear protection (even better according to the data), but when 0W-20 sheared out of grade, then the wear increased. Kind of a big deal.

I try and use Techron or an equivalent twice an oil change for preventative maintenance. At 2500 miles and then right before the oil change.

Ah...yes...my apologies on the misunderstanding. I should have just said "money" instead.

The thing is it's different carts and different horses. Sure, external events affect Financials. That is beyond a company's control for the most part. That wasn't my point though. My point was that internal decisions that they do have control over, for the most part, are determined by...

Uhhh...ok. Your point or was there meant to be one?

Yup. Financials determine everything

Yup. I had a Comp Cams 292 duration cam with Hooker Competition 1 7/8" headers and 2.5" pipes going to dual Flowmasters. Talk about drone and loud. It sounded good though. That thing would do a rolling burnout at 10mph while shifting to 2nd and 3rd (TH400 with 3000 stall). Those were the...

Sweet! I owned an '85 at one time. Dropped a .030 over 400 small block in it using the high wrist pin pistons that allowed the use of the longer standard 5.7" connecting rod. I had Currie Enterprises make a 9" Ford rear end with 31 spline steel axles and a detroit locker for it. Fun times.

I would like to see analysis of a 30K mile Toyota 75W sample for reference. Not that I think the Toyota stuff would be bad, but it would be cool for comparison. In the end, wear metals is all that matters.

The analysis of the Ravenol sent in is proof positive that another 75W oil made by a very reputable lubricant company knows what they are doing and meets or exceeds the toyota requirement. I don't get how people think that only Toyota can possibly come up with lubricants that will work with...

The OTT tune does show more torque (@30ft/lbs) in low rpm than stock, but what is really great about it is the shift points. Way less gear hunting. If you pick the normal and spicy combo for the OTT tune (normal tune without ECT and spicy tune with ECT on), you should be pretty happy.
