In case that was too subtle, your choice proves beyond any doubt that you did not do proper research.

Again you prove you have not researeched it. RP is good for a race car but does not hold up on the street.

go look around at what people are running on here. its either RP for the guys that can afford it, or M1.

Ive heard many pros/cons with synthetic. My own experience with synth was bad.
My truck ran mint at 136k, vortec 350, didnt burn a drop of oil no knocks of any kind, no funny sounds, etc. I figured, what the hell, I'll spend the money, and I'll switch to M1 synth. Well, 10 miles after the oil change, She started knocking. I lost 3 rod bearings.
From my own research, after the fact, If you run synth right after initial break in, then you're fine, But.. If you switch with high miles, You have a high chance of some issues popping up. Just my thoughts on the issue.

Ive been runnin mobile one since my rebuild, had very good results. My oil never really stays in the car for more then 2K miles, car is kind of a driver car but has been sitting a lot lately since i haven't had to drive it so i usually do an oil change once a month which equates to about 1K-2K miles
