Default After run oil!!

Have any of you guys used "Blue Block" after run oil?? i went to my lhs and he said they ran out of the kind i usually get, so he gave me blue block. It was the same price but ive never seen or heard of it before. Also i picked up a micro temp gauge/gun! it helped so much while i was tuning. I got my car running the best its ever ran using it. had it running around 236-240

Yea i did really like that. Makes it alot cleaner and easier to use. My last afterrun oil leaked all in my toolbox. make a huge mess. Do you use it after every day of use?? or just if your gunna store it for a while cause the guy said dont use it every day, just if your not gunna drive it for a while

I totally believe in using a temp gun even though I get alot of crap from guys about it. Most believe you do not need a temp gun. But for noobie guys they have no clue what smoke and sound is supposed to be like. Just once you get it tuned you dont really need it. Looks like your temps are right there. I tune for performance then I check my temps. If temps are high then I know I can richen it up a little till temps go down where I need them. You can run hot and still get great performance and smoke but you will never know how hot you are running unless you have checked your temps.

the way i look at it is, how do i know i will run tomorrow, it may be a week or two before i run for all i know, its not like it will hurt the engine or cost a ton of money.
