Cool! I really hope it works out for you. I may try it next time just to see the difference.

My SVT has 101,000k on it and I don't think the fluid has ever been changed. It also need a tranny rebuild, though. After the tranny rebuild should I add Redline MTL?

NO! Stay away from MTL!

Really, I'd have to say no at this point since there are other fluids available with good results and this thing about MTL is undecided and up in the air. My personal opinions aside, we don't have enough evidence to positively say yay or nay right now.
Therefore, just don't take the risk.
I really like the Redline MT90 but it has similar base stocks to the MTL and is a tad notchy in cold weather.
The Torco RTF I'm running right now is actually downright Awesome in cold weather and it has a GL-6 protection rating. It actually feels about as thick as cold ATF going in. I didn't like it at first because it was smelly but I like the way it shifts and works, and Torco positively stated to me that it will not harm the alloy case or syncho metals. So I've given it a try.
