Yep I know it contradicts the fact about running straight synthetic. Its just what I experienced over the years, so I stay away from it now.

Technically yes it should work better than conventional oil. Though I've put on enough miles and been through enough transmisions to know what works better, for me atleast

I know Jon at Tre recommends it, but it seems like every year the top builders change their mind as to what works the best.

I remember years ago a post from Shep that he uses 50/50 mix of BG II and Amsoil when he was running 8's, similar to what I use now, except instead of Amsoil I use the motomaster stuff. I tried it back then and really liked it, still using it.

Now I'm pretty sure that the recommendation is something else.
