proper break in period

If the rings dont seat you'll be burning oil and also take a hit in compression. It seems to me that its mostly oil consumption because an engine with unseated rings can still run like nuts.

I dont want an oil consumption issue, thats for damn sure !! What if i have the sam cam I used before ?? will that affect anything, like be a quicker break in time or anything ?

If it has a roller cam, and I would imagine it does, the rings will seat within a few minutes and once that is done take it to the track and flog the bajesus out of it.

oh I forgot...change the oil, then take it to the track and flog the bajesus out of it. and definately use conventional oil for a while.

I have my crower cam in my new motor that i used when it was in my 302.. would that have any affect on breaking my new motor in ?

No. Roller cams don't require a break in.
