Need some .02
Well just changes the oil to synthetic for the first time on Friday. Took the car out today, and its runs smoooooth, and seems like it runs better, even feels like I picked up a few ponies. Is this all in my head, or does going from regular oil to synthetic make that much differance. Reg. oil was used to complete the break in on the new ECS forged motor

Royal Purple will see increase in hp on the dyno but not in the seat of the pants dyno. But teh big advantage in synthetic oil is that it wont start breaking down at higher temperatures like conventional oil does.
