I have used VR-1 in my Roadrunner since I bought it. Being a flat tappet hydraulic cam setup, it has worked great. I replaced ALL 16 lifters, springs, locks, pushrods, and retainers when I had problems with worn out springs and a couple of lifters collapsing.
I broke them in like a new cam, and I had used black moly lube for the assembly, a quart of break in oil additive, and the balance VR-1.
IF I didn't live where it's usually hot, I may try something else, because I have 20-50w commonly available. I see there is a 10-30w, so I may use that during the coldest part of the year, which is about 8 weeks long in
south Louisiana and Mississippi...lol. 
Once I get my 541 aluminum stroker motor, I expect to use solid flat tappet lifters, but I may look at one of the high end synthetic oils that also have the stuff that treat flat tappet lifters with the kind of ingredients they need.

Cool deal. I just went to Piedmont for the Mopar drag and car show a few weeks ago. I live only about 40 minutes from Kinston, but haven't been there in years. PM me next time you are headed to Kinston and I will bring my son out and come meet you. Thanks, Paul

Cool! Is it Wolfen? I met him a few years ago at a local car show. Isn’t he from Australia? Neat guy.
