By your post below I see you like to really give it pig, I was
wondering how the stuff holds up at high speed? sure I cant get much past 150ish but was wondering if you noticed alot of oil use at those speeds... any valve issues? thanks for you help.

yeah thats the problem...im using Redline 5w30 but cant figure
out what grade amsoil to try 0w30 or 5w30? looked at the wear specs and the seem similar... I guess I always just figured that 0w30 was for like arctic driving or something... but i know its quite popular with you guys..This might sound stupid but is there a slight acceleration improvement going from 5w30 to a 0w30? is it noticeable?

I use Amsoil 5W30 at 5k mi change intervals, or Amsoil Series 2000 0W30 at 10k interval.
The longer interval won't break down the synthetic significantly or create sludge, but contamination may begin to be an issue at 10k miles.

I found that stuff got cooked pretty fast and had nasty sludging to...Is AMSOIL direct the best place to get it? Im in Canada and Ive never seen it any of the local shops..but then again I drive 100 miles to get the Redline so...
