The oil posted in the link is ok but it has to many cleaners in it hence the recommended oil of xr77 which has less, the other oil I recommended is king cobra venom max which is a fully synthetic oil with hardly any detergents or cleaners, this was chosen by me and tested for 12 months running on various engines around 40-1 with hardly any wear inside the engines, it is largely based on a kart oil but made to our spec, any oil will work in 2 stroke engines but I strip hundreds of engines each year and always ask the owner what oil they run on and you would be surprised how much wear there is in some of the engines I see on a daily basis.
In highly tuned engines a good oil will really help with keeping the engine alive for longer, but the main thing is to keep the air filter clean all the time (probably more important than the oil itself) regular rebuilds on tuned engines are a must, most of the racers I supply engines too have had there engines 2 Years or more, they are still as good now as they where when new due to good clean air filters and good oil not to mention reg maintaince!
If you increase the engines power 2 fold then be prepaid to shorten the life of the engine or at least change the ring every 15 tanks and full rebuilds around 25 tanks, some people will argue that's too much but trust me it's not, once an engine gets past a certain point of wear and tear it will never be as good as it was.
Regarding horsepower of engines, I regularly Put some of my engines on a dyno to which I can see if the graph matches how the engine runs in real time and believe me there not always that accurate, but Iam not going to get in to pub talk figures as thats what they really are, the engine I have provided to Ross will make around 6.5hp with the right pipe, not as big as some tuners you say, well this is a stage 2 engine I go up to stage 4, it's not all about horsepower though it's about how it's delived and the drivability of the engine.
not to mention I pride myself on reliability.
If any one would like any advice on any engine matters then I will do my best to help, but please bare with me as I get a lot of emails everyday and it's hard to get through them all.
