by what you said above, swapping in an aluminum aftermarket lower intake manafold on a small block Chevy wont do anything worth while....or swapping in a 4 barrel carb in place of the old 2 barrel isn't worth the effort.....or swapping out the stock, restrictive exhaust for a more free flowing exhaust isn't worth it
you have some things backwards....

Your tomb of all knowing is starting to make you look like a fossil or someone whom doesn't follow modern physics.
Pics on the way folks. I need to dig them out.

Have you heard the phrase "Some people never grow up"?
For your information, I don't own any "race cars"!

^^^ This is nonsense. First off, I don't pay for shipping. Second my AMSOIL cost no more than mobile 1. My father taught me plenty and thats why I have what I have today, nice truck nice house and a good job.
narrow minded know it all people like you are whats wrong with society now a days. I suggest you hold your tongue when you don't know what your talking about. Your age alone doesn't give you credit around here. Just because most people on the forum are younger than you doesn't mean you still can't learn a thing or two from them....

Why even get it tested at 25K miles? if the report comes back bad, it's a little too late.....

If a standard oil change costs 20 bucks with a filter over 25,000 miles it comes out to 100 dollars if you drive 25k a year, thats the same as what I pay with less oil to empty and dispose of. and I get the added benefit of better fuel economy....
