If you have a limited slip rear I recommend using this


It is synthetic and the additive is already in there.

Actually the best addtive is the motorcraft additive.
And yes, if you buy full synthetic, theoreticaly you don't need the friction addtive, however it won't hurt to use it.
the Motorcraft addtive is made by Redline, so it's an outstanding as it stands.
I've also been eyeballing LubeGard's friction modifier, but have to wait another 50k to try it out!
