I use Redline too, I get it from Summit when I order other parts. If there's real PS heat trouble consider a cooler or a different pulley to slow it down.

Been running Redline fluid in every tracked C5 I've had. Also have an ATI Superdamper 10% underdrive that slows the pump down. No issues with my stock 122k PS pump. I suck the fluid out of the reservoir and replace between track events.

I use Amsoil PS fluid and change it every couple of years. I have a small cooler I added but the most significant thing you can do to solve the real problem is to SLOW the pump down! It starts cavitating at the rpm's we run on track and causes the fluid to foam which causes many problems, one being the fluid getting hot.

AMSOIL synthetic power steering fluid. It is what I use and I like it a lot. It reduced the whine and doesnt get a burnt smell like others I have tried.

Mobil 1 ATF for me. I was using Valvoline synthetic, but ps started fading in and out. Repl with ATF (thanks Norbert
) at track and no issues since.

I've been using the AMSOIL that Kubs linked above for several seasons now - no problems.
