They have served me well with many cars in the past and especially ones that saw track time. I'm going to try redline and do a UOA to compare to TWS but, on paper Redline looks to be a clear winner.
Compare the following and Redline has an edge over TWS:
1) ZDDP content (much higher in redline)
2). HTHS
3). 100C Viscosity
