do you use unleaded (pulp included) or lrp in your classic?
i know of a few people that use ulp but add the upper cylinder lube. i would find this a hassle so i converted my heads to accept ulp

I have to run 98 octane fuel, so I can't use L.R.P. I use BP ultimate. I have hardened valve seats and S/S valves. Have not had a problem.

I used to use PULP + Flashlube before my motor was rebuilt. Now I just use Mobil 8000 PULP as I have late model GT40P heads.
I don't think LRP is going to be available for much longer.

Mobile 8000 makes my car ping! BP Ultimate doesn't!! How come?

PULP here. My clevos hated that LRP stuff.

98 octane PULP only. No problems. Preferably BP Ultimate or Mobil Synergy 8000.

I only use 98 octane as well, I used the LRP once when it 1st came out but never again, the car ran like shit and played up every where, but I have the hardned valve seat's, etc as well as I built the motor to run on LPG, but I have no problem's with 98.

i use unleaded, or premium if its cheap (never really is) but i also run gas...

the new motor is getting 50/50 gas and petrol.... then ill slowly reduce it to 10/90 or somethign petrol/lpg...

my old xd 302 didnt run on lrp, didnt run on premium.... only std unleaded?!? with the others it lost power?

Ultimate 98 or avgas, sometimes both.

PULP is the way to go in almost any car, better running and better fuel milage.
Normal stuff is for the uninformed masses.
to tip a bit of fluid in before filling up is not a hassle at all once in a blue moon
