I've decided to buy 2 jugs of Castrol classic 20w50 and throw a new Wix R filter on for the winter. It's a solid roller with T&D rockers. I plan on just starting the engine and running the oil for a minute or two only. I usually manually rotate the crank and tires during the winter. The oil is 53 bucks for the 10 quarts. My Driven XP4 is like 12.50 a quart. I figure dumping 65 bucks into winter storage is worth the benefit of removing the probably acidic and maybe a little 110 leaded contaminated. Driven XP4 and a synthetic media filter in the spring.
As far as the poor 60 ft times I'm working on it. I've taken 3 turns out total of my soft locker the last 3 track visits. Its presently at 5 turns away from just no addktional clamping load. 60 foot hasn't improved or deteriorated yet so I'll drop some more initial pressure before the next track visit.
This last weekend after I rolled the car out of the trailer to drive it around the pits to warm up the trans (Lenco) and the Strange 60 the car wouldn't move till I bought the rpms up. I was concerned , especially after I did an extra lame 60 of 1.6 something. Decided I could not condemn the clutch set up based on 1 run. Next run was the usual 1.55 so I stay and ran some more. McLeod said some people run no additional pressure on there clutch set up, just base pressure. Anyway I digress.
700 hp 528 wedge. Shift at 7200 . 430 rear with a 30 inch tire. Double adjustable Vikings all around. Great tech help there. I sent them a video of the car bunny hopping on the first 60 and squirmy on the 1 to 2 shift. Fixed. Sorry I can't figure out how to attach a video.
BTW the car weighs 3415 with me in it.
Heavy Browell bell, Lenco and a 4.5 bore Megablock which is 150 lbs heavier than a stock 440!
