I see MAP has this stuff in stock now, and I've heard good things about it. The company is based out of Japan, and switching to it from something like Mobile1 or AMSoil is rumored and apparently been tested to see significant horsepower gains, in the neighborhood of 10-15hp at the crank on a 550hp motor.

Here's a test that was done:

Anyone running this stuff? Longevity concerns and or comments?

I too wonder about its protection and longevity properties. When Royal Purple stomped onto the market they made promises of big power gains, but their oil additives fell apart within 2k miles and basically turned to junk in the amount of time/miles that barely effects other oils.

Testing will be done, but its going to take a few months while I rack up the miles on the Evo.

Test:
Get the oil analyzed after 5k miles of hard street driving. I will be doing this for both Mobil 1 and Eneos to compare how well they each hold up in the long-run, not just fresh out of the bottle performance.

Who knows. Any thin oil normally makes more power than a thicker oil, until you spin a bearing. It might be good shit, all the wholesale distributors have been trying to force this stuff down everyones throats the last 6 months or so, but PowerTV is not a reputable source.
