Okay, so no offense intended but is it just me or does anyone else think of passing gas when reading the licence plate "mrninwd"

well maybe not, but i count anything where you gain power, and considering with royal purple its been proven to gain at most 9whp (on horsepower tv they put royal purple products in a stock ls1 and it gained 9whp) so i put it down, desregard it if you choose.
