496 supercharged - oil type?
I have a 496 ho with a whipple. I am running the stock pistons which I have read is the weak link. I would like to run the best oil I can with this set up. Do I run synthetic or the merc racing oil? What weight? I have heard royal purple xpr or amzoil racing oil would provide the best protection. Any advice on oil type or weight with this set up?
