As of right now probably not, they haven't proven to be that effective on the v6

then I would try the stall converter. if you know the other's don't do much, at least try one of these, and give us some feedback. plus, the only stall converter I know of is from RX, but that was a while ago. I would see if anyone else makes em. they typically give you a ton of improvement on your 1/4mile time. like .5-.7 seconds, for 1k bucks or so.

Sorry to intrude but i have a few random questions. My free oil changes are up and now i have to do oil changes myself. do you all stick with synthetic blends or full synthetic? if i go full synthetic im looking at amsoil or royal purple. also what oil weight do you all use? i would like to do a tranny flush and diff flush; is royal purple good for that?

last question, i would like to add RS headlights and i saw some on ebay and amazon. if anyone has bought lights from these places i would like to know if they are prone to leak/fog, if so ill lurk around until some one is trying to sell authentic ones.

Sorry for the mass of questions but i figured this is the place to ask.

you can't intrude in this thread! ask away!

I think most stick with full synthetic, and most also probably use mobile one. royal purple for oil changes is quite pricey, but if you can afford it, then by all means, it's great stuff! royal purple is also good on your tranny and diff fluid! The weight really depends on where you live and the temperature. I always use 5w30 out here in the desert.

edit: I see you live in florida, so 5w30 will do ya fine!

and I have no experience with the headlight question.

The Royal Purple tranny fluid is supposed to be really good. Most don't like Royal Purple for engine oil because it's more expensive than other brands and doesn't really provide any significant improvement. I stick with pennzoil platinum full synthetic after recently switching from mobil 1.
