Thermal Arc Predator w/Honda GX620: Out, mostly Napa 15w-40. In, Mobil 1 TDT 15w-40. Removed Honda 15400-PR3 filter, replaced with Napa 7356
 
Just buttoned up a Chonda GX200 clone that included ARC racing billet rod, aluminum flywheel with 5 degree timing advance, 18lb valve springs, cone filter, header, and governor removed.

It's on a pig of full suspension go kart. Don't have a tach, but I doubt I'm going over 4500 rpm before running out of straight away in the yard. Torque converter is fully upshifting now though which keeps the revs down as well. Definitely faster!!

Out: PYB 10w 30
In: Rotella synthetic 10w 30
