^^You think that would be better MTF for my Teg than the GM synchromesh friction modified? It needs to be changed..

I have syncromesh and 10w30 oil in there now, I was going to used oem Honda MTF but I was ordering my oil and decided to get this too, anti-foaming agents, rust inhibitors, all that good stuff.

mehh wasnt too bad, and its only about a dollar more a liter than mobile 1, Synpower, etc, and these oils are not 100% synthetic, more like around 80% synthetic. I sling a lot of oil in a days work so i like to do my homework and try new things.

im still up in the air about making this a DD after this summer which may end up swaying my plans for the parts im about to buy. so I should probably make up my mind soon.

Nice choice on the fluids. I am unsure of the MTF but I know Torco and other boutique oil brands have a higher amount of zinc in them. I have read that the extra zinc really helps with the wear and tear on the valve train in any high revving motor.

correct, higher ppm's of zinc is what you pay for when you buy synthetic oil but most brands contain between 600 and 800 ppm, torco's SR-5 oil contains about 1350 ppm. i think what ill do next time is use their MPZ oil additive to synpower, it boosts the zinc levels through the roof
