Can Redline be "tuned" with the motorcraft friction modifier? Even though M1 75W-90 is not supposed to require friction modifier, I needed to add a bottle to my Ford 8.8 to stop the chatter. If I have the same problem with Redline, can I tune it with the Ford FM?

Most likely, since the diffy FM's are about the same formula across the board.
Amsoil and Redline both carry this stuff as well.

Use the RL friction modifier to 'tune' it
I read somewhere to only use Redline modifier in Redline, don't remember where. For the record, I ran it in my 90 Vette I used to have, no chatter with the 75W-90 (not the "NS" that doesn't have the modifier in it at all).
really? on my '96 i went from redline shockproof with one bottle of GM additive to redline shockproof with one bottle of redline additive, and right after the switch it acted as if there were no lsd additive at all. pop-pop-pop turning in parking lots, and pretty violent ones at that.
i mentioned that to a friend i race with, who then said the exact same thing happened to his camaro (auburn cone lsd).

You may have overdosed the gear lube.
Too much additive is often worse than not enough.
