Project Red Dragon, Dragzine’s fourth-gen Pontiac Trans Am, is pushing serious power through its drivetrain, and ATI’s Super F 30-weight synthetic Max Duty transmission fluid ensures reliability as we segue from the road to the strip and back. With over 1,200 horsepower on tap, maintaining optimal transmission performance is key, and the Super F fluid helps achieve that by ensuring smooth, consistent operation under extreme conditions. This choice is evidence-based—ATI’s Super F 30-weight ATF is formulated specifically for large-displacement engines and high horsepower applications like Red Dragon’s.

ATI’s Super F 30-weight Max Duty transmission fluid is designed for power-adder engines upwards of 2,000 horsepower, and it shines in environments with intense heat and pressure, making it ideal for drag racing, and even other supercharged and turbocharged V8 applications monster trucks and off-road use. What sets this fluid apart is its ester-fortified synthetic formulation, offering superior longevity and protection compared to traditional oils.

The fluid’s thicker, 30-weight viscosity provides superior converter lock-up over its 20-weight counterpart, giving Red Dragon tighter, more precise engagement in the GM 4L60 transmission. The Type F chemistry of the Super F reduces transmission temperatures, even under extreme load, improving high-speed and high-load component protection. Its anti-corrosion, foam-inhibiting properties ensure the transmission remains operational and protected during the difficult conditions of stop-and-go driving and hard rips on the dragstrip.

In cold conditions, ATI’s Super F maintains excellent flow, ensuring proper shifting even when temperatures dip below freezing. Whether it’s launching Red Dragon down the strip or handling the demands of continuous high-speed passes, ATI’s Super F 30-weight delivers on reliability and performance. Super F’s combination of advanced synthetics and friction modifiers gives it an edge over conventional fluids—without the premium price tag.

ATI’s Super F automatic transmission fluid lineup also includes a 50-weight Ultra Duty, 20-weight, Low Viscosity 10-weight, and an Ultra-Low Viscosity 0-weight.
