Royal Purple Tranny Fluid?

[TxBolt]

Is there anyone close to downtown Dallas or in Mesquite that sells it? Anywhere East of Dallas would be great! I'm short a little.

I think Wayne got a Royal flush from Jiffy Lube. Maybe they will pump some out for you.

Horse Power Store here in Plano sells it.
Their number is (972) 423-0190:tu:

I had to go to the distributer. Its on Shady Trail, thay just don't sell to anyone. And its hard to find the tranny fluid and the Racing 21. Which is Good Stuff! 21 is the lowest you can go and be safe. I was told you put it between 2 peices of metal it will not come out. I forget the percentage on HP gain. I will post later if its in my book. 1/16 0r 6 percent I don't remember. For now I'm changing my oil tonight to Castrol , cause I now have 500 miles on her!:burnout:

[cpeapea]

[wesman]

why castrol? i heard their synth blend is not very good Thats what JDM suggested that I use to break my motor in. I haven't seen or heard much from you Andy. You been busy or saving it all for the race season?:nana2 :nana2

I don't run anything I can't get @ AutoZone. Mobil 1 is good enough for Formula One and many other professional high dollar race teams engines and trannies.

Yep....may run her Friday at Ennis if it looks like the rain stays away...get my two runs in and spectate the reat of the night....may play more with just my timing and launches...I know what the truck will do...need to know what I am going to do as in what RPM, how I stage and when I do/do not need the juice in a bracket.
Looking into a trailer for Houstons FFW as well.
Also considering a jump to bigger NX jets and running more like a 100 shot.
:d

Why ya'll running that ricer fluid? Nothing "purple" belongs on or in these trucks. Go Mobil 1 Synth!!

Nothing "purple" belongs on or in these trucks. Go Mobil 1 Synth!! Well I have never heard Mobil 1 claim to gain 8.8 rwhp by using their fluid. When thay do I may change. Its highly refined!:burnout:

[wesman]

I've seen lots of claims...not much to back it up. I'm from Missouri(not really)....show me :)

Modern day snake oil. Reminds me of the K&N commercial about save hundreds over a turbo, cheaper than exhaust etc.:roll
Red Line makes oils that are for racing but not safe to drive daily.
You CAN gain dyno HP by thinning oil weight but you sacrafice protection.
As long as you have the bling and time to hunt around

I use a Royal Purple product....Called "Purple Ice" :tu:
Have one and a half bottle in the radiator and a half bottle in the I/C.
Also have a brand new bottle of Purple Ice sitting in the garage...next to my Mobil1 5/30 which is conveiently located next to my Mobil1 ATF...all close to my Mobil1 oil filter:nana2

I downloaded a copy of Dyno on Royal Purple and I can't seem to get it over here. Some of you computer nuts could. Its in 380hp stuff. Thats with 5w30 mines Racing 21.

[TxBolt]

Got it!!

[TxBolt]

I Give UP!!!

Here it is:

Dyno charts like this worry me a little because it is so easy to claim the only change between the two charts is mod A or Fluid B. I believe real dyno charts by real people; not the company that manufactures the product, or a magazine that's sponsored by the company that manufactures the product.

Take Ron's (Rocks) results on the dyno of the Plasma Booster (this was done about a month ago). He dyno'd with it and without it with several hours of cooldown for each set of runs. I don't remember the exact numbers, but he LOST horsepower when he added the Plasma Booster under the exact same conditions as he had run without it (he had one of those doomaflachees that measures temp, atmospheric pressure, humidity, etc)! No other changes between runs! Those are real numbers to me...and the company that makes the Plasma Booster and all of those that sell it claims 8-10HP increase?

Bottom line is until I see real numbers I'm not convinced. No flame intended for anyone here. By the way, I have one of those tornado intake inserts for sale! Guaranteed 5 HP!

Well it was done by two other company's as well. I likes!!:nana2 :nana2

Take it for what it's worth but I lost a rod bearing shortly after switching to RP. It could simply be a coincidence, but it's enough for me to switch back to Mobil1.
