I use regular parts store PS fluid in mine, but also have a Turn One low pressure pump and a pretty large PS cooler.

I've used atf in p/s systems for my daily drivers with zero issues (currently in my jeep), but for a car going on track I would stick with normal ps fluid like redline that is proven to be effective. I'm not sure how much heat atf can handle vs. a quality ps fluid like redline. Just my 2 cents.

I second using Redline D4 ATF. We can't get the power steering fluid from Redline up here easily so I figured I'd try it. Worked like a champ through 5 sessions that lasted 20 minutes each on a tight course.

I've got a Turn One pump as well.
