Amsoil 75-110 severe duty.
That is what Teague recommends in Bravos

How fast you going this year?

Hey Jim

Still breaking in the lowers. So I will be testing props the next few weeks. Hopefully, the shorties will net a little speed? I'll let you know once I get the props dialed in.

I have e-mailed Royal Purple and asked them what should I use in my engine and drive. I told them I just put a Whipple on my 500EFI and want the best. They recomended the XPR10W40 for the engine, and the 75W90 for the Drive. Bravo ZX.

I have two cases ordered.

I'll never approach the speeds that you do in that wild 27'. Are you coming to the Shootout this year?

What weight would you guys recomend for an Alpha 1 with about 500hp? I just want to make sure that 80/140 isn't too thick...
