15whp in a bottle? RAN✩UP Engine Oil Optimizer
Has anyone tried this product or have experience with it in some way? Claimed 3whp on the new GS350 and 15whp on the IS-F!

"RS-R RAN✩UP enhances engine efficiency at the microscopic level. Utilizing key components that have been derived from aerospace robotics, this specially formulated mixture of nano ceramics reduces friction throughout all oil-lubricated pares of the engine. This creates an environment where ending performance can reach its maximum potential.*The numbers don't lie... RS-R RAN✩UP produces real Dyno proven power!"

No way. I'd say dyno/condition variance from run to run giving 15 hp. LOL 15 hp is like a 1/10 at the strip. I suppose if you tried it and run a 11.8@122 with the same conditions I'd believe it.

im willing to try this stuff if someone wants to send me a bottle of it for freet. Ill do some dyno runs after headers are installed with this stuff before and after i add it. I doubt it will do anything though
Im not going to be the one screwed out of $50

i wonder what bobistheoilguy.com has to say about this. ill look into it later.
here's some good reading on another well known company that was making similar outlandish claims

Transplanting to SoCal from the East Coast when I took this job a few years ago, I wasn't exactly current on much of the area's lingo. Being called "fool" by my new friends threw me off at first, and I didn't know whether them calling my car(s) "janky" was a good or bad thing. Come to think of it, I'm still not sure whether "putting in work" means meeting a deadline, or engaging in a drive-by activity that could land me 25 to life.
One slang term more relevant to the automotive industry first reared its head when we discussed creating this very department of the mag: "snake oil". Originally an ancient Chinese homeopathic remedy derived from the Enhydris Chinensis (Chinese water snake) to treat joint pain, once eighteenth-centure English salesmen fraudulently advertised their version of the stuff to cure seemingly un-ending medical maladies, the term became the preferred nomenclature for a hoax product. At least in Southern California, where (coincidentally?) small bottles of mysterious substances promising to deliver every imaginable benefit to vehicle performance litter the shelves of auto parts stores, the pages of magazines, and flashing cyber-space banners on the e-pages of your favorite automotive Internet resource. This month we test a new one.
The Claim: RS-R's new engine oil additive can increase horsepower and torque. When our friends at RS-R first came to us with their Ran-Up oil additive, we immediately knew it had a place in "Fact or Fiction". Composed of an extremely fine power-based lubricant suspended in a liquid lubricant, RS-R claims the substance was developed by the aerospace industry to adhere to the metallic surfaces of machinery operating in zero-gravity climates, where oil retention/re-accumulation would otherwise be a problem. Also according to them, a small amount of the stuff increases the lubricity of engine oil down here on Earth (its powder-based lubricant small enough to pass through filter media), cutting frictional energy losses, and allowing cars to turn out more horsepower and torque with increased fuel economy and decreased emissions.
They even offered some outlandish claims to back it up: adding a bottle to a Nissan 350Z improved output by 20 whp (a whopping 40 whp in a modified R32 GT-R); adding a bottle to a Prius improved fuel economy by 4 mpg; adding half a bottle to a Harley kept its mirrors from vibrating at freeway speeds; and adding a few drops to the impact gun in their garage helped it rev quicker. "Once we saw how well the stuff worked," exclaimed Ben Chong, Director of Business Development at RS-R. "We added it to everything we could find that used oil. It doesn't work so well in transmissions, but it does wonders for differentials!"
For our purposes this month, we chose to stick with power testing Japanese imports, by dyno-ing Senior Editor Scott Tsuneishi's '95 Civic DX, and the AP1 S2000 of one loyal, but anonymous A'PEXi employee, both at A'PEXi USA headquarters in Orange, CA. Each car was bolted to two Dynapack 3000 dynamometers and run back-to-back, first with only their native engine oil coursing through their galleys, then again with the proper amount of Ran-Up added.
The Verdict: FACT
With the addition of Ran-Up, horsepower and torque output increased consistently across the powerband of each of our test cars. And because the chemicals in Ran-Up do not act as a thinning agent to engine oil (meaning it won't simply turn your 40-weight oil into 20-weight oil for increased output), there's a good chance it could increase engine life as well. "We've been quietly testing this stuff in Super GT racecars for years," adds Ben. "We've seen it shave as much as two seconds off lap times in our road-race cars, and none of those engines have experienced bearing failure, even after all this time."
