Question Joe Gibbs in LSX block

Anyone running the Joe Gibbs racing oil on the street in their LSX block? Supposed to be super clean and has a higher zinc content. All the NASA guys are running it on the circuit but just wondered if anyone is running it on the street. If so...what Joe Gibbs oil are you using.

Ken, I have looked on their web site and i can't find a "STREET" oil per say. Do you know the name or number they use for what is considered "street". Now my best guess is XP 3. Thanks...

Watch the O2s, it has some additives that tend to make them read different over time.
