..Burn..But anyways..back on topic..
Car is doing great, I'm doing my 3rd Oil change in it later today when I get off of work and going out driving. I've got over 600 miles on it and it's smooth so far.

Lol.. I guess you can call it over the top..it's what my guy told me to do..
This is what I've done so far..I was told to do this by my guy..
Filled it with 6qts Oil, started it with regular water in it..let it get to 220*, shut it down and let it cool down. Came back later in the day, did the same thing and shut it down at 220*.
The next day drained the water and put in 50/50 Coolant, changed the Oil and started driving it. Changed the Oil at the 300 mark, just changed it here at the 650 mark.
Using Castrol 10W-30 Conventional Oil with AC Delco PF46 Filter.
Oil was still clearish with no metal flakes in it, very little flakes on the 300 mile change. Car is running appx. 205* at hot idle on the Scanner, 12.8 A/F ratio according to the O2's, holding a nice 950 RPM Idle with a 20-40 IAC Count..

So did you start it and drive it at various rpm along with putting a good amount of load on the engine or did you start it and let it sit and idle?

Dont worry about what I fckn do with my car. You are about the biggest piece of **** I have ever seen on here. Every answer to your ignorant questions that you ask are typed here by me. If you'd pull your head out your ****** *** you would see that.
The only thing that explains your constant heckling is jealousy..quit hatin and enjoy this hobby like the rest of us.
Pretty much shut the **** up and go break your fingers..help the community here out..and I'm not one for self mutilation but you need that mod..
Go out and work on your **** instead of being a magazine mechanic with mine here..I think the LSX is too advanced for you..you seem to be missing what I say.
/Rant..back to my beer.

Now Merv, I think this was a little much.
When do you plan on taking it to the track/dyno and getting some numbers out of it? I didn't see what you said about tuning, you starting out with a basic tune until it's broken in and can get it on a dyno?
You can't heckle and bash everyone on the forum and then play the victim. You've spent 3 pages calling his motor a piece of **** and now you expect him to be civil to you and answer a simple question. I'd tell you to go **** yourself too.
