What is good for a race engine and what is good for a street engine are usually worlds apart as the two different engines operate in two entirely different environments. Many times maximum horsepower can be created at the expense of reduced long-term engine wear, which is of no concern to a race engine, but is of course of pivotal importance for a street engine.
If you look at the product data sheet of the oil you mentioned v.s. other oils on the market, you may discover it doesn't compare well.
I personally use and offer to my customers AMSOIL 0W-30 and have had wonderful results.

If they got 14 HP at the wheels soley from an oil type change, it must have been on some type of crazy modified version of a track-ready car that already put down like 800 HP and probably revs really high to begin while using some crappy oil.
On a G35, you'd be lucky to detect a 5-8 HP difference at the wheels between the most efficient and least efficient oils out there on the market... nevermind the difference between Royal Purple/Mobil-1 and Eneos resulting in 14 HP.
