The Redline Racing ATF is much thicker (10 cSt) than D4 (7.0 cSt) and does not have friction modifiers, which may accelerate wear in your transmission.
Recommendation: See if some aftermarket company has a valve body shift kit or ECU performance chip and use D4.

I combined the lightweight and normal racing AtFs. So it's a pretty standard Honda 7.5cst.
You won't notice much of a difference with a single drain/fill. Definitely a modest impovement in firmness. But remember, if you do 3drain/fills, you'll only have 70% type F.
I had D4 in there already for 10-15k, definitely much better than stock. If it makes you more comfortable, doing a single drain and fill with Type F first is the safest thing to do! If you wanted to do a second drain and fill with type f you should only see benefits!

Did you consider redline high-temp ATF? It has all friction modifiers of D4 but higher viscosity. I use it in my toyota echo with great results

I figured higher viscosity might just harm the gearbox. That why I blended the two racing ATFs.
