Is the Raging Inferno really a Heavy Oil ball (with polish)?

This is what I've heard - can it be possible?

For my style, avg speed avg revs, this ball in box condition is not
strong enough for real heavy oil. I'm going to sand it and I think
it will be ok.

I sure hope so. I haven't found a house with enough oil for it yet (tried 3 different centers). It will burn up on medium oil. It's the only ball I've had that appears to get through the heads clean but burn up in the midlane. Definitely needs oil. I sure would like to run into a flood to give mine a proper checkout.

Still factory finish. Looks like a light factory polish. I'm not going to modify the surface until I get on a heavy oil shot and see what it does. My two regular Inferno's match up pretty much everywhere I've been recently, so no need to screw with the Raging yet. Instead, I'm going to drill up another 'used' Inferno and take the surface down to 1500 dull followed by some rubbing compound. I'd like to get a ball to fit between the polished Inferno and the Raging Inferno.
