Default B&M TrickShift Fluid?

I'm going to be installing my B&M "Shift Improver" kit in the street/strip mode, and they recommend this fluid. Does anyone by chance know any
advantages/disadvantages to this fluid or other synthetic tranny fluids?
Just want to have all my angles covered before something goes out.

Thanks :chevy

It might be good fluid but at that price you are getting the trickSHAFT.

Ford fluid has higher boiling point and more friction additives. Which makes for better shifts. It makes enough of a difference that I could tell something was amiss when a shop threw in Dextron once.

Trick shift probably has the same formula as Ford ATF

OK, what are the opinions out there. I'm getting ready to do a filter and fluid change (except the converter of course).
Ford ATF, a name brand synthetic, Dexron II, or what.

I too have heard that the "new" fluid is not a great as the newer stuff.
