Also should I use a more lubricated fuel then nitrotane for the first gallon?
I wouldn't break your engine with nitrotane if I were you, if you do find some lube booster from byrons or similar. That method sounds all fine n dandy but the temps are the most important part
keep engine between 190°-210° for break in, head covered for idle time, uncovered when running car on the ground or track
