I use Redline MTL in the street car (4 speed), and MT-90 in the race car
transmission (5 speed).  Redline's 75-90 or 75-90NS doesn't work nearly as
well.  I'm an Amsoil dealer, and I use their products everywhere else on the
race car.  But I really like the shift quality of of the Redline "MT"
series.  Wear is minimal as well.

As for Water Wetter, I use it in the race car, along with a custom made
aluminum radiator.  It does make a difference.  It depends on how "chronic"
your overheating is.  The best solution is to fix what's wrong with the
cooling system.  I had minor overheating problems for years with my street
car.  Once I got the radiator (and rest of the cooling system) properly
cleaned out, installed a new thermostat, and got the carbs and ignition set
properly, my cooling problems disappeared.

Happy Roadstering,
