A member here has claimed that the Sequence IVA wear test is less valid then Grand Am race cars running flat out to redline for up to 24 hours.
Since we seem to be on a fact kick lately, here is the most paramount fact about the sequence IVA wear test: it tests an oils ability to protect a solid lifter camshaft under low temperature and low speed operation, which is the total opposite of a race car engine (whether it be stock or not) running flat out at high engine speeds and high oil temperatures.
