Kit Car Week End

DWRAT,

Remember if you are running a flat tappet cam you need lots of Zinc and Phosphate. Mobil 1 doesn't have the right amount. Ok for roller cams.

So the yellow car couldn't do a burnout because it had a bad cam?

Hmmm.

DWRAT,

You are either going to have to run an additive (ZDDP is one) or us one of the few oils that still has the proper amount of Zinc/Phosphate. I run Brad Penn semi syn, it has the proper amount of additive plus a really strange green color. Some of the Valvoline Racing Oils have the right amount (not all the weights) check the internet. Comp Cams has a good writeup on what is needed.
