Just my 2 cents. But I have found out that going to a thicker tube lube tends to slow down the weight transfer from side to side a whole lot. I don't run mod or anything, just stay with the 13.5. And with that in mind, I usually just stick with the CRC Red cap (lightweight). I have tried the heavier stuff, but with my driving style, the car tends to go on 2 or 3 wheels when I dip in the sharp corners, (robbing speed) and even traction rolling sometimes. So I kinda just stick with the light stuff. When the traction starts coming up, I might give the heavier stuff a try on the 3rd heat, compare lap times and go from there. The best way is just to buy all 3 CRC tube lubes, white cap, red cap, and blue cap (cheap stuff), and just compare lap times, you should know what to use from there......Happy Racing
