Does anyone know of a national chain that does this service. I talked to
Jiffy Lube and they won't let me bring in my own fluids. I would love to
find someone to do it but only if I can put in Amsoil.

I had mine done this spring when I had a high stall converter put in.
I switched from ATF+3 to Amsoil ATF+4 at the same time.

I've had the same experience as you have. At part throttle, shifts are
more responsive. At WOT at the track, it did not eliminate my
manual 1-2 upshift problem but I can now launch in 2nd and lift
about 1/2" to immediately get the 1-2 shift. The manual 2-3
shift is no problem at any rpm.
