My 500 mile break-in is complete and I need to change my oil, what would you guys suggest? I ran Joe Gibbs Break-in oil for the first 500.
The engine is a 383 stroker about 11:1 comp ratio. 3/4 cam, High Volume Oil Pump. I live in the panhandle of Florida.

My Oil pressure gauge runs Maxed out all the time, Is that hurting it?

Plus my engine Temp only gets to 140, shouldn't it get higher to burn the fuel properly?
I just read that Blueprint Engines said (Do not use synthetic oils before completing a 6,000 mile break-in.)

Thanks Guys
