You have already passed the break in window. It's short. Conventional oil for break in always. Synthetic will not break a motor in unless you have a diamond hone finish but even then I still use conventional.
There are alot of different theories about break in but it needs to be done early. Hit the motor hard as soon as you can. You will feel it loosening up, just keep taking it higher and higher until it makes a smooth pull to redline. Avoid extended idling and no load situations. IMO a loaded dyno is best for break in.
Did you get a build sheet with motor specs?
I agree 100%. IMHO the break in period is under 20 minutes. It is also important that while you run the pulls you let the car slow down with the engine and not with the brakes. This creates vacuum which helps to seat the rings.
