Question LAT Transmission Fluid - ever hear of it

Have any of you heard of this stuff

Heavy Duty Synthetic Gear Oils | LAT Synthetic Racing Oils

I was told by a couple local guys (8 and 9 sec cars) that this is the best money can buy ( which is why its so expensive ). It keeps temps about 20 degrees colder than reg off the shelf fluid and keeps clutches strong for longer.

Its blue/purple color.

I don't personally think there is any need for that, unless you are pushing a weak transmission harder than necessary or are racing and need every little bit of help you can get. I don't know anything about that particular oil though, so I may be very wrong about it all.

Most transmission builders will tell you that regular ATF, like Dexron III or VI, Mercon/Type F or ATF+4. I'm running AMSOIL universal ATF in my TH350 and 4L80E only for it's cold flow properties up here in the Arctic. Otherwise it's not totally worth the money and isn't a solution to any problem you may have.

20 degress is where i say "WTF".

If its the same quality fluid as far as how it works in the trans and keeps everything lubed AND drops the temp 20*. This is an amazing product. I dont know if its true cause I havent tested it.
