Default Re: Royal purple = more power???

Your all MAD I Tell YOu MAD MAD MAD.
Anyone putting in oil aditive or synthetic motor oil to
try and squeeze a couple extra horses is a lunitic.
First off your going to kill that engine much mucg sooner then it
would if you hadnt screwed with it, secondly...your NOT gaining Aything.
have you ever seen that little computer box in your engine compartment?
what do you suppose it does?
it keeps the engine running at optimum performance based on what
the mitsubishi engeniers deemed is perfect for that engine.
if you increase the engine weight or decrease it , the computer is going to
compensate
for it.
I also used to work at a stereo shop, and we had customers wo had convinced
themselvs
that this moster cable speaker wire sounded so much better than regular
wire.
the truth is there is no difference.
But since these customes had just laid out $200.00 for copper wire, of
course thier
little brains told them it sounded better.
i suspect the same type of self-pyscho-hypnosis is happening here.
