Tom; I know that some of the NASCAR engine builders have been doing a
lot of testing with some new oils. They are very soft spoken about if
they are making any more HP or not. In my years I have found that when
they are not talking about making more HP, they are. I have been able to
get some little hints, maybe someone with a closer contact will let us
know. Doug Odom in big ditch
