no way! more than 3grand? Yeah it definitely has a head gasket problem because its exhausting a hell of a lot of white smoke. Plus i was told by the owner that it needed a new one. How much does a decent gasket cost? I might just have to do it myself. I need to pull the engine right?

Do a search on "Head Gasket Replacement" on:

As I said, not too bad, no need to pull engine. Invest in some manual, it will have step-by-step guide for this. You can do it in one day on your driveway.

I use RP on both of my Camaros and yes you do notice a difference over say, M1.

Is it enough of a difference that it gives you that seat of the pants feeling...no not really, BUT, I have noticed an increase upwards of 4 to 5 mpg over dino oil when I did the synthetic upgrade......

That alone says yes, more hp.....but its more realistically just freeing up hp already there that is being reduced by friction...
