Joe Gibbs/Driven DT40 for street driving and XP-9 for track (with a recent thread by Charles to go XP-6 if the oil temp is projected to go over a certain amount, 240F or something that seemed kind of low so I may be remembering it wrong, I think the thread was on rennlist)

Just buy and install....

....the “IMS Solution”

I did two years ago. 26,000 miles later. All good.

Plain bearing. No moving parts. Simple is good.

Exactly, I think you are correct on the 240F too.

In your case you need LN's break in oil. BR something?, just follow LN's recommendations.

RND is selling off motors to make room in inventory for 9A1 inventory. The M96/M97 market is dropping in value. Sorry but we're getting thrown to the side for the newer toys

I think it is the simple reality that the market is saturated with IMS "fixes" and the majority of engines out there either have no issues or have been fixed already with one product or another. Ride the wave while it's hot...
