I don't know, I use redline 85/140 with friction modifier, and mine hooks up real nice. If I didn't have the eaton, my truck would still just be spinning it's wheels like crazy.

Valvoline 80/90 in mine, with GM additive. My Eaton came with a card in the box specifically stating not to use synthetic gear lube. I don't use it in the 12 bolt in my Z/28 either, and it has many 5000+ rpm launches on it.
