What is the best gear lube to use. I am going to pushing over 550 hp through my alpha this year and want the best protection i can get. Price is not a issue.
thanks

Hi Travis
I've been using Amsoil 80W-90 synth in my Warlock B-1 and never had any issues. But if ya beat something hard enough its gonna break.

Traviss I use Redline Shockproof heavy. I pulled my pinion out this winter and replaced a bad front seal and one thing I really noticed was the lube was still sticking to the gears after setting 3 months. have also noticed the redline likes to foam a little but, It does not seem to cause problems.
