This is a good read on oils. It's mixed with other discussion of cams and lobes but has some good input on oils as well.

Looks like amsoil z rod is the best way to go, has high zinc for lobe protection and a better shear psi then the Joe Gibbs.

You want max effort? Buy my cam!!

You called it man!! I called TSP today and they had one set of PRC 255s left on the shelf. 66cc Chambers, milled down to about .010', which will raise my SC just a little bit and get a little more power out of them. If/When I go FI down the road, I'm hoping I can get away with running a thicker Head Gasket to drop it back down for boost. If not, then I will just do a stroker short block and stay N/A, but I don't think I will have too much of an issue. What do you guys think?

I bet you shave a couple tenths if you put one on each side.

I had my cousin make them for me. I think he can do whatever color so I'll get with him this afternoon and see if he is interested in making more.
