Recommended Engine Oil ?

[buzzinhalfdozen]

No where in either of those posts did you offer anything more than YOUR opinion, you bad mouthed a few oil brands of which you've probably never ran, you stated you've ran Mobil1 for26 years though your engine has nothing in commom with the OP's. You completely failed to answer my question of what class "E" is, you've expressed YOUR truth, offered no facts so once again you've offered information irrelevent to the thread. IF you respond please include your S/S class and how far under the index your perfectly scienced out "S/S legal" unit runs as I've looked again and fail to see the "E" designation. FWIW it's OK to be a bracket racer, we all are to a point but at least have the stones to fess up to it, and quit giving bracket racer advice to racers who are trying to make their stuff FAST!

I haven't bad mouthed any oil, I've offered my opinion as did everyone that replied has while also offering first hand experience with the oil I have been using for the past 26 years! Lastly, you assume too much. I have run Royal Purple and I run Joe Gibbs XP-1 in my son's jr. dragster.

The op will and should run whatever type and viscosity oil HE chooses regardless of what my or anyone else's opinion is. IF there's anyone's opinion he should be listening to, it's his engine builder!!!

Joe, get over yourself and your what does a bracket racer know mentality.

THIS bracket racer KNOWS!

That said, I'm sorry that my car is over a second quicker than yours, I'm sorry that I race more weekends in a season than you, I'm sorry that I race for more $ than you, I'm sorry that I win more than you, I'm sorry that I don't run the same oil you do, I'm sorry that I don't feel having to buy a new window net every 2 years is a big deal and I'm sorry I don't race in any Super Stock class.

WOW, now don't you feel better? You finally came out and said it, you don't race a "Class Car". Now as for your car being faster than mine that's easy to prove.... I have to weigh 11lbs. per cubic inch, 276X 11=3036 -100lbs. for auto trans Min. weight for me is 2936, I run it at 2975lbs. I average 9.75 seconds. So lets set your car up to 11lbs. per cubic inch, then you post how fast you went,deal? Saying your Big Block car is faster than a car with a 6 cyl. is typical bracket racer chump talk. So in parting let me congratulate you on your "coming out" and please let me know your results at 11lbs. per cube, can't wait to here the results. Joe

Ed's car would need to weigh only 5742lbs to make that 11lb break.....LOL

Might be hard on driveline parts at that weight Ed....

Rich, as you know, my car was built to and ran GT/AA as well it ran GT/DA and HA IIRC and I have been offered engines to run in both AA and HA.

ED seems to be the one who needs to get over himself, if anyone can pull up an old post that indicates me giving advice on a subject I'm not well versed on I'll remove myself from any further topics of conversation. His statement would be akin to saying a full grown adult can out run a 2 year old. Or my F-350 can out pull your S-10 pick up, what pompus self centered dribble. You sir are not a very good representative of bracket racers, my son is a very good bracket racer he's won track championships more races than I can count, but he doesn't have the knowledge to advise someone on their class car setup. Hope some day he can but for now he does what he's best at, winning rounds and smiling.So let me know how it goes at 5700 plus lbs.Joe

[1320racer]

that is your opinion which is meaningless to me as well the op's question. Further, your claims of your son's bracket racing accomplishments have no place into this discussion.

That said, allow me to extent my personal invitation to you and your son to line up with me 1st round at the WFC on 7/13/2012 at Bristol Dragway.

Sooooo get your borrowed AA or HA engine and have at it big boy, talks cheap. I"m awaiting your posts of fame and glory, as well as running 1.20 under.Keep me posted. Joe

Go with GT/DAor lower Ed.....

A nice small block......
Some 400's are popular as well as some old 327 combos.
If you really want to be bold go with an LT-1......Same engine as Larry's 2 cars but built to SS specs....They are very fast.

Still get to use a 3 speed....use a trans brake.....keep your big wheelies and run in the 9's....

Buy a motorhome......and a spare everything....
Spend your kids inheritance money up before they can.....Haha...
