Switch to the Driven's Speedway Synthetic oil in Challenger and have always ran in COPO with no issues. Its VERY light.....
I do break in for 3-4 passes with No Synthetic Driven Break in or Torco oil from Mark Williams.
As far as an A to B to A test - never done - doesn't matter since I won't run a light weight non synthetic in the rear or trans anyway - we have enough other **** to test when we go out!

I don't know that it's an oil issue. I bracket raced my Dart with the 8 3/4 for ten years at around 3250 lbs. When I started running it in SS/JA a 3470+ lbs. I took teeth off the gears three times. I switched to a Dana, haven't touched it since and I'm running the qualifying oil. IMO it's more of a gear strength issue and I don't think it would be an issue if pro gears were available for the 8 3/4 in the ratios we need them. Just my 2 cents
