The blower is a PD TVS, VMP Stage 2 (Roush style). Work is only 3 miles away, so when driven will see the "short trip". Normally when the engine pops, it is tune related. It's a blast to drive, can cleanly break loose in the 1-4 gears. Tuner isn't overly concerned, has used 5w20,30 and 10w30 penn plat. He changes at 4K miles. I'll check with the vmp and roush to see what they recommend.
When you say "big and littles" above, are you referring to skinnies in the front, and big meat drag radials or slicks in the back for drag race time trials/testing, or something else??
If you do decide to go with a 5W-50, there is also Mobil 1 5W-50, especially when it goes on sale at NAPA for $5.99/quart.
