I'd break in the cam, change the oil, look inside the filter, then run it as hard as you like. My 2 centsquote:

O.K. - now we have some information. What does that engine call for? In Georgia you probably should go with a 40 wt. If you are going to run it to the ultimate limit-Redline would be a good choice. Anything less then certainly Delvac 1 5W-40 would be great. Amsoil boys can help you here. If you are going to stick with Mobil 1 I would go with a 30% to 50% ratio of 15W-50/10W-30.
Good question it is hard. I have almost 500 miles on the motor but I wanted to break it in properly because it cost too much not to. It is amazing. I running a toploader 4-speed with a 3:25 gear and the rpms still tach up so fast. I would not want any lower gear because it spins so easy now in first and second gear. Do you think that the synthetic oil will make the engine leak? Everything is new, but the seals and design are old school. They don't compare to the newer 4.6L seals and design.quote:

Luckily I have a roller cam and they don't require breaking in so you think let it rip?quote:
