What are you using in your cammed engine?

Fellow Forum Members-
For those who have modded their engines with a beefier cam, are you still using an API licensed SN motor oil?

Or, have chosen to drop in a product that offers a higher level of ZDDP like Amsoil Z Rod, Royal Purple HPS or Driven LS30?

Most likely not necessary since our engines have rollers, but curious all the same.

I would think that it is not necessary. These new cams are not like the old flat tapped ones. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Amsoil Z-Rod for me. Subdriver calls himself C66 Racing now. Brad is a great guy and can get the Amsoil for you at a great price.
