Have watch Nick's drama with Pontiacs before. I think they stress him out.
1. There is NO need to run 20- 50 weight oil, AFTER break in.. No need, Period. Is he scared, or just way too STP OLD SCHOOL?
2. That engine did Not need a Hi pressure pump.
After break in and warm up, he was still at 98 psi at just under 3k RPM. Waste of horse power and possible foaming if excellent oil isn't run.
3. After Warm up, engine coolant was at 160 ish. Should be at 180-185 anyway.
4 If he switched to 10-30 oil, the engine may loose 10 psi, but still would be way more than needed.
Why does he think its a large journal motor.?
I am Sure he has a "house" AFB. every mopar nut has half a dozen that are fine for pulls.
Lot of extra drama by the producer. In Real life, time is money, so 3 people at a dyno with issues knock this out in 30 min after break in.
Of Note, Nick doesn't Start tracking TQ or HP till 3k typically.... sad......
