I long time friend and serious bracket racer who owns a trans shop told me it does run a little more consistAnt but if you get into close back to back runs it doesn't stay as cool as regular trans fluid

I run the John Deere Hygard fluid in mine ( $ 17 a gallon)

I understood in using it to tighten a N/A converter that gets nitrous applied to it. With nitrous a converter becomes way to loose and with the hydraulic oil it will bring it back 3-400 rpm's

We ran it in the Nova and it worked fine. Supposedly more consistent. I don't have data to back that up. I don't like the smell of it or the feel so probably wouldn't use it again. I have it in my Chevelle bracket car but will most likely put ATF back in it when I change it.

I run Amsoil screw compressor oil in our super comp cars as it seems to be more consistent while on the stop. Now that we are jumping into stock as well I have not decided if we will run it in the car.
