I was told by my engine guy that I'd pick up in the vicinity of 20HP because the motor revs so high. He also said that my crankcase is much smaller than a V8's that that may be part of the reason it works so well on the V6. He also told me that I could run VERY think oil 5/30 or even 0/30 with the dry sump with no problem and pick up another 5-10HP at 8,000RPM. I'm not sure I want to do that although my oil pressure is 100psi at 8,000 so it would probably be all right. I guess I'm just old school when it comes to oil as its hard for me to run the Mobil 1 10/30 I'm doing now. Any opinions?

Thanks,
