Give Royal Purple a try. I dont know a viscosity level for it though. Had good luck with it in my 2004 SVT Cobra. And several other road race mustangs o er the years.

Reading your predicament and I am kind of surprised. I have beat the piss out of my car and my fluid and power steering system has never even wimpered. I am not saying the fluid didnt get aerated but the pump might need a look see either way bud...

Thanks for your comments.
It certainly seems odd , I agree. I have gone twice now to an open lot after driveway warm-up an did continuous S Curve driving at slow idle. I even rotated wheels right/left within each turn. I have had a strong vacuum on it in the garage for two sets of three days in between the lot drills. The stutter is mostly gone at this point-at least public streetable now. I have been looking at shops for decent fluid upgrade and have so far found: RPM MAX EZ Steering fluid and Castrol Transmax Dexron VI still looking. Perhaps the pump IS damaged, not sure why it would come back fully last time and this time I suspect it will. My service manager suspects(site unseen) the aeration. I'll for sure get the fluid changed later this fall. Tim

I was using the Royal Purple fluid prior to this and it was working great btw with many HPDE and autocross days.

Sir,
Sorry for your troubles-you've had it much worse than I. The dealership instructed me to purchase a power steering pump cap adapter and a Mityvac-see pics. Apply 15 " lbs. I of course was not sure it was my solution and so as normal I made my own vacuum from an old drill sanding rubber wheel cut to fit and my boat motor oil drain pump. The first time it happened to me the stutter wouldnt happen to me unless the pump was running. this time it didn't stutter on jacks whole running but I tried running the car with front on jacks and the vacuum on but it didn't help . If you get the right parts, perhaps you could place the vacuum on the pump while driving carefully in a big lot to work it out more. I really am no expert, still learning and listening. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be adding another tool to the arsenal.
