Default Trans fluid/Gear oil

Gonna replace my trans fluid and gear oil before the track sunday. What are you guys using?

I've used gm syncromesh on my mr2 turbos with great success, is this ok for the vette?

Thanks in advance.

I put the RP in my M12 and diff. Couldn't really tell difference in shifting like some people do. Just good pm feeling is about all I got out of it plus some security when tracking.

I believe people do use gm synchromesh in Vettes as well. I have used Royal Purple and Redline and really didn't notice any difference.
