Just as another point of reference. When I purchased my camshaft from 
Intergral camshaft design , he asked for my followers to Rockwell test & 
dress to the cam. If I remember correctly I sent him more than needed & some 
failed. I think it's a good idea to have the machine shop prepare them for 
the cam.

I did the standard break-in on a fresh motor, used conventional motor oil 
for the first 2,000 miles & then  used Mobil 1 since. Four years later and 
plenty of miles all is good.
