My lhs carries blue thunder which has proven to leave the internals of the engines that have been running it much more lubricated then the Byrons, so I am thinking that it might be good to break the internals in on this and then switch to my normal fuel. What are the engine experts thoughts?
Blue Thunder is a very good fuel, not sure exactly what model of BT your referring to but Blue Thunder HP8 is top notch fuel. Some people have an issue with the blue die, insignificant....

The question you have posed is kind of like asking people what car to get, 10people, 10 different answers.

Everybody has different breakin techniques, fuel, rpm, heat cycle, temp, etc,etc.....

For example, I run

Methanol /12% castor oil for break in
