Best oil for LS3 418 Stroker, big cam, high compression?? 30W, 40W or 5OW. I live in Florida, if that makes a difference as far as temps.

The motor was completed several months ago and the engine builders-Arvil &Chris Fowler of XTREME HP in Texas are out of business. They never sent the build sheet. What I was trying to say before server failed, they recommended 10W30 Mobil 1 syn , but my sources tell me syn not good for break in motor. I don't know if they used break in oil then changed to Mobil 1. I going to put Brad Penn Racing oil in ASAP. But I can't get in touch with them to confirm.(another story)
Thanks
Thanks

i would think i would follow what the engine builders recommend i mean gm breaks all there engines in with mobil 1 they are factory filled with it but when it comes down to it its your choice i have used pennzoil forever and never had a problem with it
