top end lube

<< < (2/3) > >>

dreracecar:
In my forty years of racing, I have never found the need to put oil/lube in my fuel, only in the gas for the Jet-Ski.
 So no help here

H.G. Wells:
I asked Frank Parks that question many years ago. His response was, why would you add anything to your fuel that did not add horsepower. Made sense to me at the time. Now, with that you have to make sure you have good valve clearance and not hanging valves and you must service the fuel system after the race.

When I started with alky injection I was selling race gas for a living so I made a show of no filter and no additive just as a marketing gesture to show how good my product was. I can see how a little lube would make maintenance a little easier, but that ratio seems kinda thick.

I have run the m5 and it dose not have any lube in it m3 dose . The m5 will make more power than the m1 . My car is about .06 better with the m5 . The only drawback to the m5 is it stinks really really bad and it is very corrosive so you should drain it out after a weekend . As far as using a top lube I really see no reason for using it . I fog mine down after every weekend with a little Mystery oil or even Wd 40 works well .

Thanks for all the input. We do clean the fuel system after every time running the fed. So with that said we are going out again sat to do a few hits and see if that was the problem.  masracingtd1167 I agree m5 stinks but was much more fun/easy to tune and run. Would have to look thru time slips but I think it picked up .1 or better when we changed over before. Too bad it is so expensive. If money was not an object I think we would all run nitro...

masracingtd1167:
It is more expensive but when you compare it to race gas at 15 to 25 a gallon it is still a bargain !
