If you are serious about trying it, send a sample to blackstone. Get it analyzed. Once we know what is in it an answer can be given.

Very well said. In a way, this is how hot rodding started.Do not do this.
Yet, if you are one of those people who like to go against the grain, & do things differently than everyone else. Then allow us to aid you in this Friction Modifier endeavor.
Friction Modifier usually comes in 4oz bottles. We prefer the Ford Performance brand. Install 4 bottles, & remove 1 quart of engine oil to maintain a correct fill level in your eng.
Then install that 1 quart of engine oil, from the front of the car,
into the differential,
in the rear of the car. (After removing 1 Qrt from the rear diff of coarse)
This will give you a lower frictional mixture, & a rear differential that stays 'locked up' tighter,
to help deal with all the freed up HP delivered to the rear tires. From both the lower frictional losses of the engine, as well as lower parasitic drag losses in the rearend. Win - Win
Your going to need that tighter ( non slipping clutch pack), with all the extra power delivery.
I would not be disclosing my wearabouts thou, if I were you. This incalculable power increasing 'Indian Trick', may just put more than a few businesses (especially Whipple) in financial jeopardy. Destroying billions in aftermarket revenues.
So much so, THEY will see no choice but to 'drop the dime' on the developer of such an industry revolutionizing hp adder, that it could be a "nuclear type" threat to the entire aftermarket power adder industry.
Ok... Kidding aside, I've had more than a few bizarre ideas that turned out to be against the grain, myself. Mentors & experts often got us lined out in most cases, before we got ourselves in to deep. Yet, not always.
The shear fact that you are THINKING about ways to improve ANYTHING on your car is admirable.
& nobody who ever accomplished anything in life, can say they didn't have a few ideas that sounded good up front.
Realizing later, it wasn't quite the Eureka moment it 1st seemed.
Dont stop thinking & questioning like this though. Asking is the best thing. A lot of people here, can help anyone to avoid headaches & heartache.
Kerp thinking & asking, cuz the older you get, the less your going to be able to use your imagination & creative thinking. Not by choice, but because your own experiences get in the way of looking at old problems that you, or the industry itself, believed it solved long ago...
& you, by default, conclude there are no new ways to get a better outcome.
We once let a Synthetic lubricant Rep at a race convince us to try there latest & greatest, super ultra low viscosity engine oil. For free of course, (& running there brand name via stickers) & they gave us a pallet of 5 gal pales as well, free, to compensate our troubles. Probably $2/3k worth of oil bk then.
It only needed to go about 7.5 seconds under load, from A to B, in the 1/4 mile, plus the burnout.
We put it in for the final qualifying session. It shelled itself at about ~400ft. Eng was destroyed.
This was ~30yrs ago. Sometimes you get caught up in the moment, only to look bk afterwards, & see about 20 reasons why the idea you implemented was -beyond a bad one-, when, in our case, choosing lubrication. I wasn't the guy who wrote the checks on that program, & he made the decision to do it. I should have been the 1 to talk him out of it. I didn't have enough skin in the game on that one to be more vocal. Infact, I was also hoping for an improvement in performance.
Its ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but ask the right pple first, if you want save yourself some grief. Know this.
Expenditure of 'Time & thought', often exceed expenditure of hard earned money.
You cover that correctly on this one.
Keep thinkin & askin. 1 day we'll be asking you!
