Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker

[Dwight Southerland]

Common engineering is just like you describe for the consideration of wear. For the special usage of drag racing gears, it is not as much an issue since the gears will break or get retired before they wear out. Except in the case of 1320racer, since his stuff never breaks and he makes so many passes every year that he must commute to work in his race car.
