i did some reading on what zinc does.
it will help with the motor break-in but zinc is like poison to the catalytic converter. it's fine if you're running test pipes and you probably wouldn't notice damage given that our cars are 2 years old at the latest, even with 20k miles. It's long term damage.

As for the purolator pure one filter that i got. its the PL14610, same one in kaiser's diy.
realistically, i'll finish off the redline and use the pure1 for the next oil change but after that i'm going royal purple and a suggested oil filter.

i'd have it no other way than to hear people's honest opinions, just to get a perspective on things, but i'm going to stay with my mechanic's advice on certain things. i consider him a good friend that a lot of people, including myself, entrust with their cars completely.

on a side note, he's rebuilding his 04 cobra, and throwing a meth kit, and should be pushing close to 700whp.
just hearing that makes me feel like my 370 is another 140hp honda. haha o well, im happy with my z. hoping for an amuse kit and tt setup in the future.
hope everyone is enjoying their z's
