FYI, I recently switched from Valvonine VR1 20w-50 to Red Line 10w-40.  I've
only run 3 full tanks of gas since the switch, but I'm seeing a consistent
improvement in fuel economy of over 1.5 MPG. If that is the case, I figure the
oil easily pays for itself.

I'm not sold on adding anything to the oil.
 Could be fine, but why risk it?

I was planning
on using 20w-50 Mobil 1 in my TR8. Then add some of the ZDDP
additive that
Eastwood sells. Good idea? Flawed idea? Probably cheaper that
those expensive
Royal Purple or Red Line oils.
