What have y'all experienced to be the best break in oil for stock eliminator motors?

I've had great luck with Lucas Oil. I use their products in my stocker as well as the street vehicles. Plus they are huge supporters of sportsman racing!

I've had very good luck with the Gibbs Driven Break in oil. No issues with cam break in with my Stocker motor or my new truck motor two weeks ago. Both flat tappet Hydraulic cams with standard lifters.

I use the Valvoline VR1 Race oil 10-30 non synthetic. Available from Napa or Amazon.

I've used Brad Penn straight 30W before with no issues. It's petroleum-based with extra ZDDP (zinc) compounds for flat-tappet cams. 25 runs and then a change to synthetic 5W30.
