I think he said it cost between $8 and $9 USD per quart, which is high, but not that far off from the synthetics. He did also say that he has had no good experiences with simply using additives, he was very down on that approach.

Stick with the Joe Gibbs break in oil. That is the best stuff out there. Has 2700ppm ZDDP, and got some good amount of lead in it. (really for off road, race track use, not street use)
I would use it for the initial fill and first 1/2 hour or so of 2000 rpm running and then dump it to get rid of any machining debris. Refill again with Joe Gibbs break in oil and run it for 500 miles.
Afterwards run dino (not synthetic) oil with ZDDP additive for another 2500 miles. Then you can use what ever oil you want, like a synthetic.
