News & Notes by FCHP

Labor day weekend is good for an extra day off work, AND to get a couple dyno runs in testing different things. Among other things, I got a chance to test the new oil on the dyno this weekend.

I don't want to say I'm suprised at the results because I put a LOT of homework and studying what works and what doesn't before I ever mixed the first bottle, I guess I could say I am happy with the results. The CHT was right in line with other known good oils. The peak HP and Torqe and HP and Torque curves were also right in line with other good karting oils. I did see a slight increase in accelleration, but I don't know that it's enough to jump up and down about yet.

I did not get to put a lot of dyno time on the motor with this oil but I did make several pulls (around 30 minutes total). I tore the engine down and wear looks good. Now it's time to do some long runs and several races on different tracks to observe long term wear.
