Hey All,
When the Center force P plate assembly was new to the market I was working in a machine shop and running the balancer. I found the weights made it impossible to get a repeatable balance as they moved around a bit. This was many years ago and sure a zillion have been sold since then and are still being used.
I am a big supporter of additives and like Lucas myself and
synthetic as well. If you are pushing a component out of the average use it makes sense to me to use lubricants with higher ratings. Heat has a huge impact on most things but I think our Cobray breaths or cools better than many stock body cars including the Vette.
Rick, what is the tranny in that is getting hot? Let us know what direction you choose and how it works.
