14 lbs of torque from adding an oil booster!!

**ggino85** · 08-03-2008, 07:40 AM

i just woke up, turned on the t.v. and muscle car t.v was on and they were dyno testing different stuff. nos kits, programmers, etc... anyways they dyno tested some px3 oil booster and they got a extra 9hp and 14lbs of trq. on a charger srt8.

gains like that can be factored into an error percentile and some other possibilites. I bet they would have seen the same gains with a fresh oil change.

Was the engine heatsoaked before etc etc etc? How long was the oil in before? Was it synthetic? Yeah I noticed a bunch of seat of the pants gains when I did a bunch of little stuff from my car. Unfornately It was abused before me(maitenance wise) and I was just freeing up robbed power from abuse.. i regret my first few posts on this site.

BTW I used that shit in my rear end because nothing else with an additive was availible except it and she whines like my ex gf now..

just my .02

Oreillys....

**ggino85** · 08-03-2008, 11:20 PM

i figured there was an explanation but i just thought that was a big difference in #'s between the two pulls. oh and jd i dont think it was heatsoak, the pulls were back to back with the second pull(w/oil stuff) being the better of the two.

**ggino85** · 08-03-2008, 11:25 PM

and i have always used synthetic oil but i DONT THINK u would you see an extra 9hp and 14lbs of torque from switching to synthetic over the old dino stuff

hence the . . .

My car has made back to back pulls with that much of a differance. Nothing changed. Coolant temp was within 10 degrees for each pull.
Not since I put the 402 in, but it does happen.

PLUS...the dyno operator (if paid by endorsements) can change factors to show a gain.

oh okay i figured there had to be some catch. I bet the show does get endorsements, i meen imagine how many people (ricers especially

) ran out and bought that s**t just cause of that episode.

That stuff is great it will give you tons of hp by reducing the protection of the berings.

Not me I rather loose 10 hp and not tear up my berings with some soft oil.

If they want to sell it to me have ..three hot chicks take a shower in oil.... one in 10 w 30 one in senthetic oil and one in this oil additive.... Then line up three slip and slides on a hill.."no water just a dry rubber slip and slide" can you see where this is going with its ouch...

Ya I bet Mobil 1 would show a hp gain over my GC cause it's thin as crap. Doesn't mean I want it in my engine.

I bought some of this stuff the other day and was reading it and it said on the bottom

It would be nice to know the accuracy and repatibility of the Dyno?

**JoshieDoom** · 08-07-2008, 08:57 PM

Ill be having a dyno tune soon.. but im not wasting money on that crap

**wesmc** · 08-08-2008, 12:19 PM

They tested the additive in a basic conventional oil.

Swap out the same oil with 15w-50 mobile one, royal purple synthetic OR Brad Penn conventional and you will see similar gains w/o srewing with the dyno #'s.

This is due to a change in the additive package made to protect catalytic converters. (zinc and phosphorus.)

For some reason mobile 1 did not pull the good stuff out of the 15-50.

The px3 stuff is great if you use an oil that doesn't have this additive package.
