Default PX3 Oil Additive

At least one C6 has used this additive according to their dyno results gaining 10 H.P. and 6 LbFt. torque. Anyone here used this????
Seems like a very cheap 10 horse to me........

If you really want an opinion, same old elixir, different bottle and name. Come on, do you really believe 10 more hp from a bottle of "stuff?"

I've put it my car my first oil change and I'm putting it in this weekend on my second oil change. I saw them Dyno a car on Horsepower TV and it gained 14 hp so I am giving it a try. Didnt do a Dyno though. Of course there will always be the "snake oil comments" but who gives a $****, it's your car to do with as you please. I noticed the car ran a little smoother myself!

Didnt say I believed it or not. I read about it and was asking if anyone here has used it, and it seemed like a cheap 10 horse. With an exhaust system costing 1300+ for about 10 horse, you may be able to see why 20 for 10 would seem such a great deal.........Thanks Vettethret for your input.

I find it VERY easy to believe that proper lubrication can easily raise HP and reduce wear. I also find it VERY difficult to believe that one product runs circles around another without sacrificing something else. Being that I race my car and run it hard, I'm not about to introduce anything unproven. So let us know how it goes.

OMG, you gotta be kidding! Changing oil manufacture's isn't going to make too much difference. But, if you want the best, use AMSOIL.
