Thanks for the video Richard! I would love to hear more about your data logging/monitoring in a future video! I'm particularly interested in EGT data and what you are watching for.
Fellow Canadian, been running VR1 20w50 in my car for about 10 years, it's good stuff and has never let me down. I'm also buddies with Sam, the owner of Perfect Tuning, nice to see his gauges out there in the wild!
Surprised I don't see a ton of Lucas stabilizer hate. I use it in my Firebird with the sliding followers, but not in my roller cam/rocker Buick. VR1 goes in both when I go racing. Of course both engines only make about a 1/4 the horsepower you make, lol
Good vid Richard! So you are dry or wet sump oil? And can you put a link to the VR1 oil you buy? and a link to the oil accumulator? Thanks! Keep the content coming
Love that your sharing the knowledge that I was able to pick ur brain about pre doing my first drag and drive! Keep up being deadly rich! Team 20-50 vr1 amazon let's go!!!!
@@Canadianchucknorris69 I'm not going to put a basic oil pressure safety into my Holley something like if it sees sub 20 at wot above an rpm cut ignition just to give me a fighting chance !! Good call
I don’t know if you are still running a distributor or not? But chewing up one of those plastic distributor gears will look like that! Something isn’t right! Because most clearviews on race engines I have checked, (which has been a lot!) might have a few specs in them! Not a bunch of crap like that. I have seen tire rubber in some, running circle track on pavement with no air filter 🙄🙄🙄🙄! I would be doing more investigating. Any old rubber oil lines coming apart inside? I hope you find it! Years ago, before all the fancy oils, most race engines around here ran Rotella 15/40! We ran it for years in everything & still do! If guys had money, then they would use Redline, or Amsoil! Shell Rotella also has good synthetic oils now! Remember that oil has to run tons of miles & hours under severe cylinder pressure, in $30000 engines! It works! Synthetic stuff really helps on circle track engines that need every horsepower & may blow a tire & ride around on the oil pan to finish 😳😳😳😳! Hope that’s a bit of help!
Enjoying your videos, Thanx Richard !!

Good info! Gona try that vr 1 in my air cooled Harley-Davidson! Like you say very limited to our selection of oil here in Canada 🇨🇦
Can't wait to see you & SRC The Man's garage Miss midnight Maverick & of course Tom Gunner aka Jimmy Dale... Good luck man

Excellent I do love that little gauge very useful and easy to change to suite your needs!
Solid information. I wondered if those Clearviews were worth the cost (I am in Ontario); appears as though they are. Thanks.
Rich , you have done an amazing job on that car. Thank you for sharing and all the tips and tricks that make it work.
love your car, i have a black 66 comet 433 fe 4 speed that i have owned since high school, and street raced off and on for 41 years.
Enjoy your videos Rich….. good luck and God Bless brother. Feel sorry your stuck up there with Justin Castro……. We are stuck with BRANDON

Yeah I am not saying I am right ….. just saying what I do! Lol
20w-50 and lucas, what are your bearing clearances set at? The accumulator and clear view filter look like good insurance for the engine!

I am wet sump.
Here is the link to the oil. a.co/d/iasUz6P
Here is the link for the accumulator

Bring your slicks just incase traction can get sketchy at yellow belly but it is a experience you won’t forget that place is crazy
Great Video So what is the Launch RPM ?
4300rpm

Just curious what oil pump/pick up and pan you run in your GTO?
HP mellings pump, canton deep pick up with the canton road race pan… I think it part number 452..
