get a solid tune. The tune along with some good oil. watch out with royal purple; its good oil but bakes down fast on boosted motors.

Sorry but brands to matter! Not all oils are the same go look at the oil test and you will see for yourself! Also some brands such as Mobile1 are not true synthetic oils but semi-synthetics... so please read up on it before just saying anything!

In the summer, I use 5w40 Motul and in the winter I use 10w30 Motul as well!

Some of the best full synthetic brands I would say are Amsoil, Motul, Royal Purple.... others are good too but I have used all 3 and in my race car and have had no problems. I prefer Motul as it corrected a little idle vibration problem that would get using the other 2.

Dave didnt seem to have a problem with the royal purple, maybe it was just me or the car. I would have problems with it getting watery and braking down fast. Its worth a shot I used that stuff in my car before it was boosted and loved it! Motul and amsoil are great.
