Have you run Honda ATF? (T56) What has been the result? I've read all positive feedback, and I'm getting ready to do this + install the hurst shifter I have laying around.
My roommate's Z28 was noticably improved (probably just from the new ATF, of course)

Figured as much.

It went in 4 cars that I know of. My TA, roommates Z28 (t56), Manual 5.0 and a Manual Ranger.
All are working just fine, despite the fact they are beaten on daily.

I had Honda ATF in my trans for about 3-4k miles.
It was noticeably louder while driving. You could hear the gears spinning in the transmission. It was louder because it is a thinner fluid, allowing sound to pass through it easier.
I recently changed it over to Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF and it quieted things down immensely.
No difference for me other than added noise.

Is this a good or bad thing is the question?

I don't know if it would harm anything, but, for peace of mind I changed it out for the more proven fluid and am more than content with it. When I had the Honda ATF in my transmission, it felt a lot more "notchy." Like it wasn't a sufficient thickness to "pad" the trans. Like putting 0w20 in your engine instead of 5w30. It's a much thinner fluid.

Extra noise is never a good thing.
