I went to the world of wheels today in Chicago. I ran into a guy there that used to own the torco oil company and then sold it to a guy in Valpo ... Make a long story short. They say this oil is unbelievable. The Car they had there happened to be a BULLITT , He said he pulled a dyno run with stock FOMOCO 5 w 20 and this is what happened. 4800 rpms , 224.4 HP, 245.3 torque air fuel 12.7 ... NO MODS Then this on torco oil ... 4800 rpms , 236.8 HP 259.1 torque air fuel 12.5 ... They are Hyped on this oil .
They also said the car dynoed about 301 flywheel horsepower before and about 310 after ... Check into it ...

The TR-3650 calls for an ATF. Torco's ATF is MERCON, DEXRON, etc., compliant:
