Default MWC Fab9 w/billet clutch posi, what gear oil and friction modifier after break-in ?

I've got the Billet clutch posi in my MWC Fab 9 and have about 100 miles to hit the 500 mile break-in. Should I stick with regular 80-90 gear oil with 8oz of Ford Friction modifier after the first gear oil change or is there something better you recommend?

BTW, it's really sucks driving the car like Grandma !

I think what you have is good enough for where you live. Is it a daily driver? You race alot?

Yeah, DD.
No not very often, my car has never had drag tires on it and it probably never will. Although I do enjoy rowing the gears merging into traffic, and corner carving!

I don't mind using regular gear oil, but I would like to know what brands are most recommended, if I should stick with 80-90, an also if I need to stick with 8oz of the ford friction modifier.
