I can't tell you how often I get the question "so what is the best engine oil to use in my _ _ _ _ 911"? Trust me when I tell you, I could write a dissertation on this subject and hit you with about 300 pages of theory with supporting data. Heck, I but I could even bend out an algorythm that would explain it very elegently. But the answer I most always give? "What do your friends or fellow racers have luck with"?
The theory is great, the practicle application is great as well. Blending the two is the ultimate trick and very possibly the key to being a master of the craft.
MIT with a blue collar background - perfect fit IMO.
