I've thought about it. But ive heard the fox is an aging platform that doesn't retain value and won't be worth anything. I'm thinking of putting it in a. F body. But ideally I just want your guesses on horsepowerz.

ive heard from one of my boyz homie that he swapped to 10w30 from 5w30 in his b18 overhead cammed vtech integra and gained mad powa. Went from a stupid fast 134 fwhp to 136 fwhp smoked a ls1 and a 5.0 in the same night. I was like yo i gots to do that oil swap but i gotta wait till my tune gets right first. Soon as moms give me my allowance this week its ON!

No WD-40 needed, just straight slick 50, power cannot be measured because it is the ultimate perpetual motion machine, the moment you think you have the power measured, it just makes more and throws off the readings.

The motor oil won't really add power without the K&N oil filter...!!
