20W50 in the motor (about 3.5 qts) redline primary in the primary and transmission with shock proof in the tranny

Link to Red Line

I pay the same amount for motor oil as the primary, so i run it but you can run 20/50 in the primary as well

I was running the same. Had clutch problems with slipping at higher rpm after Stage 1. Dealer told me that synthetic in the Primary is not recommended, it's too thin. I don't know whether or not to believe that but now have the Screaming Eagle race clutch which has kevlar clutch disks and recommends no synthetic in the primary.
It now has Formula +.

I'm thinking some of the issues I had was with not enough free play in the clutch lever. They argued and said it was per spec's and wouldn't warranty the clutch replacement since I had Redline Synthetic in the primary.
It was their "out", but I'm certain it was the adjustment.

Been running Redline products for years with no issues, but don't want to fork out another 5 bills if I'm wrong.

I always take the extra 5 minutes to adjust the clutch correctly. i like a short shift travel becuase of how often i race
