I had posted in the other "5mph" thread, that with all the new lubricants (synthetic) on the market, specifically the NEO products they are claiming a 1-3 mph gain depending if you run just their drive oil or their engine and drive oil.
After talking to the owner of NEO and The Bravo Shop (2 seperate people) over the weekend at Desert Storm, I found the logic and technology to be right on. The oils were designed for F1 racing and the trickel down to other sports has worked out very well for them.
I have found out this is the best kept secret in the racing community, the people using it have an edge and they use it as that. (Amazing what you can find out when you start checking into what you have been told) I am ordereing up for our boat as well, will let everyone know our actual results. They are stating it will increase drive life by
50% this is due to the increased cooling capacity in the viscosity of the oil and you only have to change the oil half as much. And with the less heat, less drag, it will increase your top end as well! This will make it by far the best performance enhancer for the money in the market.
Certainly worth the try for a few hunred dollars total, less if you have fewer motors... (I have 3)

Met w/ John P (Bravo) shop this weekend again here at LOTO, he is putting the package together for us to cross everything over. I have a PM into him to explain and answer all your questions. I am not totally sure all the exact weights he is using yet. I have triple 496 HO's and XR drives. We expect to have the conversion before Memorial Day (I am going to be on the road untill then).
Another Baja owner here that has the same 496's crossed the engine oil this weekend and stated as soon as it started up, the engine actually sounded different (quieter) he wanted to work the oil in first before he started hot rodding it, so I look forward to hearing from him next weekend after he runs it a bit more.
So far everything I have read and been able to confirm looks really good.
As far as the Amsoil, there is a difference, I'll let him explain that as well.

Guys always say "If I just get xx mph I'll be happy", Ive said it myself many times. It never works out that way, you never get to the speed you say you'll be happy with. You just need a bit more... and $50k later you're still unhappy.
Lee Iacoca said when he was 14 and had a paper route he figured he needed about 15% more income and he would be happy. 40 years later when he was the highest paid executive in the country he said he needed just 15% more income and he would be happy.
We're never happy.
