Question About Tranny Oil

I'm getting to run my S5 T2 for the first time in 2 years. My goal with this project is to get the most power output with the stock Turbo. I wanna put synthetic oil in my tranny but I dont know which is the best for me. I'm building this car for drag but at the same time an on and off daily driving vehicle. I know royal purple is great but what others are also recomended.

And by the way I did the full n/a auto 2 5spd t2 conversion and my diff is not an LSD.

I recently put the Redline MT-90 synthetic tranny juice in my relatively low powered NA. Like it.

The Carroll Smith bible on tranny fluid:

Just drained the Lucas Oil from my tranny today. Toooo slippery for the synchros.

Redline MT-90 FTW.
