Damn Nate, is your engine loose or something? I have always run a good 20/50 oil with no problems. And I am at Nac most of the time. Will be there later today in fact. :p I always use the racing 20/50 for its additives.

I Ran Straight 30 In My Challenger, But 20/50 Will Work Fine. The Heavy Oil Is Good For Big Moters, Like Blower Moters. Im Running 50 In My Cp, But It Is 914 Hp Naturally Asperated & I Think 50 Is Even On The Heavy (over Kill) Side For It. Heavy Oils Rob Hourse Power, So If Ur Not Puting Extreame Loads On Ur Engine.... Dont Run The Heavy Stuff. Besides, W/ That 455 U Cant Afford To Lose Any Power... Jk... Those Things Are Power Houses......lol
