I just ordered a 12 pk of Brad Penn, Penn Grade 1, 20w-50 on Amazon for 
$77.00.

Because I'm running an Elgin 715-18 cam and that's where the power is. 
It actually produces good power from 2K to 6K rpms.

Triple webers, shaved head, heavily ported and matched, 1.65:1 roller 
rockers, tubular push rods, cam bearings, etc, etc. 150hp at the wheels, 
dyno-ed.
