Nope,
We ran that stuff in our late model small block, 8000+ rpm and we found oil psi spikes, drops, very uneven stuff. Our pan holds a LOT of oil, 10 qt with a kick out in it, we found that stuff foammed up terribly, we ran VR1 race oil with 2 qts of lucas. They told up the ratio we were using. Well we tried to just run brad penn, no more issues...

We use it as a final pour on lube for the cam and lifters after the engine is assembled,especuially if it is not going to be fired soon. 
 with BG, lucas oil tratment is sticky and has to lubricate and coat everything, did u ever feel that stuff on your fingers.

It is very sticky and it clings to the cam and lifters for a long time much like STP.We pour a generious amount on the cam and lifters and around the lifter bores as well as the tips of the rockers and pushrods,Some of our engines sit for months and some are shipped abroad.

Lucas has a dislpay in the store that has 2 compartments, each with a series of plastic gears run by a hand crank. One compartment has straight motor oil, the other has Lucas fortified oil. When you crank the lucas setup, the oil clings to the gears and climbs up to the top gear much more readily than the straight oil set up. I figure I don't need oil clinging to the crankshaft and other parts, I need it to easily shed from the rotating assembly and get back into the pan. So I don't use Lucas oil treatment in my race moter.

I ran a little in my Getrag 5 speed behind my Cummins. I changed the oil, added the Lucas Oil treatment, to the specified oil for the trans. After that the trans shifted horribly, and was far more noisy. I ran it a while like that and it did not get better. I drained out the oil and as much Lucas as I could get out of it. I then refilled it with specified oil and ran the trans went back to shifting nice, and no more noise. Ran it a long time with lots of heavy loads, lots of tire chirping, speed shifts and such before the output shaft bearing finally became pitted and noisy.
I've since rebuilt it with new bearings, and filled it with synthetic oil, and had great service.
No Lucas for me.....

that was my feeling too. You want oil to lubricate using a thin boundary layer of oil- not a think heavy coating that will add weight and slow rotating components. you want the thiunnest oil possible that will still lubricate at the worst extreme that you run
