Brad Penn 5w-30 oil cammed

Has anyone used the Brad Penn Penn Grade 1 5w-30 High Performance Oil in their cammed cars?

I use Brad penn in all my old cars and customer cars. Almost all have them have over 500 hp. I personally think its greats. I've never had any oil related issues. But never used in my Camaro. I still have 1 more oil change coming from the dealer.

Thanks for responding. I know its great for cammed cars in the past just not sure if it is good for these new Direct injected ones?

Probably not. They are great oil and has good services. I still have some 10w40 in my garage and i like to use it when i go catless.

Amsoil 5w30 is popular. But why 5w30? I think tap thicker will do better?

I'm asking about engines that had larger cams installed.
