I recommend 1000cc of fuel with an 11%-16% oil contect

My full recommendation is to take a tank or two running on ground with body on , get engine to run to be just slightly rich on botttom and pretty rich on top but not so much it bogs the engine so it wont take off , keep temps between 190-210F

Then on track but be kinda nice to it, keep temps close to above mentioned temps and do not squeeze.trigger too long and no mercy revs

Start leaning hsn slowly after approx 1000cc ish of on track easy running
