Perhaps it reduces internal friction?

To a certain degree, I'd say any synthetic might do that compared to conventional oil

Default Well, Redline did dyno testing and found this:

results <a href="http://www.redlineoil.com/dyno.htm">here...</a>

a couple horsepower isn't bad.

Like any testing, take it with a grain of salt.

Default Nope, Amsoil makes similar claims...

but they have the test data to back it up. in fact they also are in search of users to participate in their beta tests for engine wear and performance criteria.

i don't know if Royal Purple does?
