Well...I had my motor built by Agostino Racing in Canada. A famous Chevy engine builder. His advice to me was surprising to say the least. He said start it up check everything thouroughly like oil pressure leaks etc. Drive it around the block a few times. Bring it back and let it cool down repeat several times. Then strap it to the dyno and let it fly...Doh! I couldnt bring myself to do this though. I put about 500 on it before i started hammering the motor.

He did stress NOT to use synthetic oil for at least 4000 miles.

Thats my story and Im sticking to it.....Al
