I'm boosted now, so that's why i ask. Heard of another guy that swapped his out due to bubbling with oem fluid and he changed his out. I can't get a hold of him, so thought i'd ask here.

Maybe give World Racing a call? I think I remember reading somewhere that they build up auto trannies to handle boost.

Check out the ratings of the fluids and what the service manual calls for....For example, it might call for a Dexron IV additive and make sure the fluid chosen has it.

Once you have that taken care of, then check out the respective flash points and boil points of the fluids along with operating temps. Once you get that figured out, you have your fluid choice.

Be smart about it.
