Eddie44 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Anybody else see Horsepower TV this morning. They took a stock LS1 Camaro and it dyno'd at 302 HP. They changed all the fluids to Royal Purple and it Dyno'd at 310. Pretty good gain for less than $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We give it a two thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmartin Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 A good friend of mine worked for royal purple for a good many years and he swears by thier products and while that might not mean much to you all I know what a top notch mechanic he is and thats good enough for me. (he now works for bear brakes I wonder if he can get me a good deal on a set of 6 piston calipers?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sidewinder Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 What they FAIL to to tell you is the royal purple they put in was lower viscosity(say 0W30) than what was in the car before. They used to have a thing on their website that showed them picking up 5 HP by changing from a 90W gear oil to their 75W90, DUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92ZR1Wannabe Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Back in my mustang days (Looks for cover) it was always fairly common knowledge that Royal Purple would show some HP at the wheels. I always seem to remember reading it was only 2 or 3 hp on those 302's though. That is comparing apples to oranges of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
