Well, Louis, you've done it now!! Let's just see how many different opinions you get on this one!!
I personally prefer Penzerl, brand-wise, tho Mobile 1 is a good synthetic.
Octane boosters come in many diff. flavors. Some work, some cause more misery. Let the games begin!

"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"

In my daily drivers I run Mobil 1 and whatever weight the manufacturer recommends. In my vette I run Castrol 10w30 in the motor. In the tranny, since it is modern, I run Royal Purple. Rear diff has Mobil 1 gear oil in it with some GM posi additive to it. 

Pennzoil here too. Mobile 1 in the big boat helps keep oil temp down. Call me anal, but I stay with GM fluid and additive in the rear.

Additives? A necessary evil for high compression engines. If you can run well on pump gas leave the boosters on the shelf. I'm probably gonna try to blend some racing gas with high test in my big block. It's over 11 1/2 :1 I can't tell much difference when I add the 104.

With that being said, what's everyone's thoughts on the oxygenated fuel? My engine guy says I'm better off running gorilla whiz!

Yeah, but how do you get the gorilla to whiz in yer tank?

Actually, findin a gorilla that likes beer, it increases the production!

No doubt...let the games begin on everyone's preference. I use Amsoil in everything I own (engines, trannys, rear ends, tractors, mowers...). Most of the synthetics are good but I believe in the Amsoil because of my track record with it (it also test better, especially from a durability standpoint). Be sure you don't use synthetic in your new engine until its well broken in.

I have always used Castrol 20w50 in my high performance vehicles, whether they be Chevys, or (dare I say it) Fords. I have had good luck with the Castrol, and I'm using it on my LT-1; it keeps the rockers nice and quiet.

STP Octane Booster goes into every other tank of go-juice.

10W40 Mobile 1 for the engine I was thinkin... Roayl purple for the TH350 tranny, and GM gear fluid with additive for the dif, what does everyone think?

Sounds good, Louis.  I'm like Eddie, I use the Castrol 10w30.  I don't have to worry about it breaking down under heat.
