Highly debated?!?........anyone here!?...............I use syn oil and does notice a difference. I think anything that keep the engine cooler will keep HP dropping from heat.

it's more for protection from wear. any increase in horsepower (usually like 1-2 shouldn't be perceptible) will be minor. if someone says they dropped like .2 off their times they're probably lying.
