Friction reduction coatings; probably see a HP benefit in the rear gearset & transmission, maybe in the engine. Seems to mee that the high-loading surfaces are better-off with a polish and Redline lubrication.

With a micro polish and a coating coating like microblue on the ring gear and bearings it's possible to run thinner dif fluid. Possible help there.

Problem is pro stock re-Coats often I'm told. By a very reliable source.

Mike, hmmmm, if your ring-pinion is still swimming in 80-90W then please look into draining it ut, wiping everything clean, solvent spritz, then reload with the Redline stuff. Definite reduced temperatures.
....and reduced parasitic HP losses.

What do you guys think of Swain's coatings for piston skirts to reduce piston to wall clearance?

Works great for that application.

I'm running Dewco lube. If I didn't know better I would think it was 10 W 30. Super light weight

Check the Red Line stuff; likely thinner, likely slipperier, likely never get dark colored after many runs.

... c'mon Mike, you gotta step up to the 0/10 ultra thin weight stuff, and see what really low oil pressure looks like ...

He's talking about rear gear oil. Not motor oil. And 0/10 is chicken chit. 0 /2 and 0/5 is trying! But not for me.lol

... I know, I saw his pretty blue stuff laying on top of the heads, at Norwalk , I was just trying to make him laugh ... Lol

Next year a few of the OE's will introduce oil that has 0W/-7 viscosity. Also 0W/-5. That's some thin oil! All about fuel mileage with the OE's. That's a negative viscosity number I am trying to show.
