Additionally when I'm on the power and pulling hard it becomes difficult to shift. I have the Edelbrock SC so pulls are harder than stock would be.
Why would this have happened when changing the gear oil? Would changing back to the stock oil or another brand solve the problem?

Because Lucas Oil sucks and you used too much of it? Basically exacerbated the 1-2 shift issue that's common, and now it takes longer to warm up because there is more mass to heat.
Also, I too am curious as to why FI would change how a manual transmission shifts. Please explain why that would make a difference.
