    6# KB vs Turbo RX7

    Not supposed to street race, but this '93 RX7 pulled up and kept jacking with me and giving me the "go first" hand wave. Thinking that they came from the factory with a turbo...I figured I'd get the jump on him if he had any "lag" problems, but he instantly pulled away pretty fast with zero lag...

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    Exactly. That's why I wasn't 100% super "sold" on synthetic oils until I saw an OHC 4 cylinder that always used Mobil1 and always had cam lobes that looked as pretty as chrome...until it switched to regular dino cheapo oil just for *1* oil change. Within 3,000 miles, the pretty cam lobes already...

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    Even when a torn down engine can be measured with nearly zero wear on a high mileage synthetic oiled motor, but a dino oiled motor can show quite a bit of wear? You use Synthetic oil, of course, even when "You are not likely to see enough of a difference to measure" ? That's why I started...

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    Even when people can prove more RWHP with synthetics...and cooler temps? Why is dino oil so cheap? So...you use 87 octane fuel in your Saleen...and you wouldn't even try to compare the 87 octane to 93 octane? Why is 87 octane cheaper than 93? :shrug:

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    Most "Stock" people? Or people that *don't* drive HP Mustangs? You actually think Ford would have the stones to say that non-synthetic oil gets the job done...as well as a premium synthetic oil? If you disagree with that assessment perhaps it is Amsoil and Mobil1 that you should be arguing...

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    That's why I wanted to mention "modified" engines instead of stock. When mine was new it did great on 89 octane, but now it is tuned for 93 octane. And when I get my KB I'm sure it'll be tuned for at least 91 octane.

    Synthetic oil a "waste" of money?

    If some people think Synthetic oils are a "waste" of fancy money, do they also think 87 octane gas is every bit as good as 93 octane on modified engines? Proof that cheap-O oil is just as good as a premium synthetic oil...or do they just have short pockets? :shrug: Amsoil. Absolutely. :D

    Anyone use royal purple?

    I use Amsoil 5w30. Absolutely. :owned:

    Borla Stingers?

    The drone (not too bad) seems to mainly be @ 2,000 - 2,200 RPM. I went to 4.10 gears so I'm above that on the highway where I do most of my driving.

    magnaflow x-pipe loudness?

    I didn't read all the replies, but you might consider Dynomax Bullet mufflers - sounds like Borla Stinger mufflers...just probably a tiny bit deeper and louder.

    4.6 Motor Oil ?

    From Amsoil to mobil and royal purple? Like switching from a beer to apple juice and grape juice?

    4.6 Motor Oil ?

    I wonder what kind of (test vehicle) car Amsoil used when the showed a photo (on their site) of 6,200 mile used oil? Looked really clean - Looked like used conventional oil that was run only 500 miles. Perhaps it was a "trick"? :shrug: Can't answer that because I've only been using...

    4.6 Motor Oil ?

    Amsoil (The "25,000 mile" oil - not the 7,500 mile oil) 5w30...and an Amsoil Super Heavy Duty oil filter. Btw... I won't be doing 25,000 mile oil changes. Probably closer to 10,000 miles? :shrug:

    Mach 1000 acting ugly

    I listened to (Hot) Coco Lee's CD one time and when I tried to eject the CD...it got "stuck" inside. Now I get a "CD error" message when I try any of the CD functions. :(

    Stinger vs. Race Bullets

    I have the Borla Stinger cat-back, and before I change out the entire system I'm trying to pick some mufflers to weld in - I like the "loud" but I hate the interior resonance as some others have mentioned about the Stingers. Usually happens at the 2,000 - 2,300 rpm range. I've read conflicting...

    Looking for New Catback...

    Well...I liked your answer. Thanks. I will probably go that route, or perhaps a pair of #5561 (polished) SS Edlebrock mufflers in place of the old Stingers.

    Looking for New Catback...

    I never thought I'd hate by Borla Stingers, but I'm starting to get real sick of the interior buzzing and rattles that pop up at certain RPM's. I'm not really concerned with loudness any more and I don't even mind a loss in power, I just want a quality catback system that doesn't buzz and rattle...

    Borla vs. other exhaust

    Do you get an interior "buzz" from your Stingers? I get a noise at mid RPM's from the right rear - can't tell if it's from the trunk or from somewhere under the plastic (right side arm rest area) cover at the rear seat.
