What is the difference between regular AMSoil and their "racing" formula? It says they are both 100% synthetic. What is the difference in the price per quart?

Racing oils are designed for the maximum lubrication in mind, so what we did in the design of the oil we threw into the recipe Zinc and Phosforus and some other anti wear aditives these additives prevent the internals from making metal to metal contact, the oil is designed for maximum HP and lubrication in mind. and yes AMSOIL's racing oils are fully synthetic. the Zinc and Phos PPM ( Particles Per Million content in this oil are in the 1400+
Racing oil's also are capable of holding up to any type of harsh fuel like NOS, Meth, Ethanol, Q16, C16 ect... these oils do not shear almost at all.
one of our sponsored evos here on evom is running 10W30 Racing oil, he had an oil analysis done by an outside copany, and we were astonished by how his engines was wearing all the metal wear was way bellow AVG, meaning that his engine was not even feeling the punishment it was taking from those 20-25 minute hot laps at 130MPH, he AUTOxes the car on NASA TT and Redline event and some local events, also the lab analysis showed how the oil wasnt even starting to breack down at all.
Now the ATM 10W30 for example is still a fully synthetic however the PPM of Zinc and Phos is around the 900's + it doesnt mean its not a good oil this oil is more oriented for the guy that uses his car as a DD and track usage on the weekends but on the other hand you can stil use Racing oil for the same conditions it all comes down on how much money you want to spend, racing oils have to be drainned sooner we do not reccomend to go over 3500 miles on it , to where ATM10W30 , SSO 0W30, XL 5W30 these oils can go fo over 25,000 miles on DD on our cars easily 10k, now i have not seen an evo owner take their oil past 5k, but the point of these oils is they give you that piece of mind, you know in the back of your mind you have an oil that is designed to last 25-35k and you are changing it lot sooner than that.

Amsoil was great when I used it but I'm not willing to drive 30-40 miles out for it and to spend right under $40 for it. I now run Castrol Edge 10w-30 since Advanced Auto is 3 miles away. Wal-Mart is 10 miles away if I go grab the 5 quart jugs. Cheaper and gets the job done just fine. It only cost me $30 for an oil change now including oil and filter.
It works great but recently I had to change the oil right under 2k miles (mainly to prep for auto-x). Oil was darker then the 2k I did with the Amsoil. Friend told me that Castrol Syntec regular would work better but I have yet to try it. Will get back to this in 2k miles.

Just a note that the 25k-30k mileage for AMSOIL is when using the AMSOIL EA filter, but agree with Andy that most people here don't run longer than 5k or so.

It hasn't really caught on over on these forums here yet, but it's getting pretty popular over on nasioc. But i've started to use Rotella-T.
My friend's with STi's have sent the oil in for analysis and have come back better than most other oils.
