Talking If I go to synthetic oil will my Opti-Spark work better?

Just curious if this was a rumor or not before I go do it because supposedly it reduces opti bearing friction netting an additional 2 more flywheel horsepower which a lot to the tires, especially in an auto

How the hell have my LT homies been doing these days? Haven't been in this room in coon ages and yes I miss PEPE and sometimes wish I'd kept her, but oh well. So what's new with the LT crowd, has any vendors come out with a Vic Sr (type) bolton plug-n-play "real" LTxx manifold yet? Has anyone figured out how to run an LS1 pcm with coilpacks on an LT yet? Who's running 7s in an LTxx, fill me in.

Oh and Merry Christmas guys, miss posting up in here with ya'll

The hard part is drilling the hole so that it's at the very top of the opti. Once that's done just fill it up. It also works great at keeping the moisture out.

They HAVE made an LT1 run with an LS1 pcm, post is in here somewhere.

Z8's LT1 is now running, I predict the first LT1 in the 7's from that car.

No plug and play supervic.

TFS and Dart have come out with some nice new heads for our old stuff though.


Oh and I made it into the 10's all motor
