I be one of those some, I use STP Oil Treatment.

linc I'd advise against that, unless your trans halves fit together REAL tight... but it's your mess. Also unless you already have synthetic lying around there is no advantage to spending the extra $ over standard oil.
The reason the STP works so well is because it is very viscous, but not draggy. Which means there is no need for a pool at the bottom, just some. Our vehicles get flung around enough so it will disperse evenly. Guaranteed!

That is good to know, I figured the stp would be a bit sticky and cause drag. I planned to seal the lower case halves together with some rtv, and fill it to slightly below the level of the centerline of the lower shaft. I figured synthetic oil would handle the very high rpms better and stick to the gears better than conventional oil. I will give the stp a try, it is only a few bucks, and the shop can cover the cost!
