Oil Performance

Oil Performance
I went to the shop and started a discussion about 2 stroke and engine oil. The owner told me about a few certain brands and his proven performance increasing advantages in some brands. I completely respect and believe his opinion on the matter(one of the best engine builders in the country) and will be making the switch to some of the brands he suggested given my budget, as my RX7 is a daily and I am a broke young adult. But I just wanted to hear if anyone else has an opinion on the matter. If anyone has personal non-anecdotal experience.

He recommends Redline first and formost but its $10 for 16oz which is alot if you daily your car. He has seen higher horsepower with this brand. Another brand was Yamalube 2R which is alot less expensive and easier to get in a store. The key he pointed out was synthetic oil is what you want. I would just premix instead of doing OMP. alil over 1 oz per gallon doesnt have to be exact I just buy a quart of oil half a quart per fill up usally my fill ups are about 14 gallons.
1000 miles isnt very long and certainly not enough time to see any long term effects of 1 oil over another especially in a street car. Honestly ive put some shitty oils in my car and my but dyno cant tell the difference If I had access/money to a dyno I would test a few different oils out. miles per gallon has nothing to due with the premix. i get 15.5 MPG and my motor has less than 6000miles and it has all new parts minus the side plates. MPG is about port size. I run 15 afrs at cruise and 3000rpm and have yet to break 16MPG.

Woah your getting 17 MPG on a stock NA motor. You might have a leaking or clogged injectors or something wrong with the MAF. When i was NA i got a 22MPG easy, while driving the crap out of it all the time. I have the ports removed no emissions or air pump the exhaust was stock though.
On the 2 stroke point I would find whatever synthetic oil that is easy to get to and switch. Im on Pennzoil marine stuff which I read was OK before I had the discussion with my builder and Im probably gonna stick with it (MAYBE). Its blend there is no smoke no smell and cheap.
