On MY Celica? 0-3 whp. On the average 6gc, 0-1 whp. Its my opinion that the 25whp figure even for a high powered AWD vehicle is simply not accurate unless they were comparing different weight oils. However, that point notwithstanding, your initial post about the "25whp" does not indicate to the uninformed reader who owns a 6gc that there is no way in hell he can expect anywhere near that kind of gain in his own car. In my opinion, it implies the opposite which is VERY misleading. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
