I admire Lake for his comment. He did not want me to risk making his product worse. And since then. I have talked with Lake at length. You get a very honest evaluation from him. He has a very close relationship with Tony Stewart while they were testing. I like them because they continue to develop their product. They are making changes to some of the XP line. I have some coming to me to try on the dyno. Should be good for drag racing. There could be better oils out there but I have neither the time nor money to experiment with it. It works for me,
