Of I was going to put that kinda money into my truck I would defiantly be putting in an air dog or fass or a raptor pump. I have a Holley black and I don't see it supporting the mods you have now. I might be wrong but I know with my setup I pull it down low.
I wouldn't add any additives just run the oil you plan on running from now on.

I run rotella but this is opening a can of worms about oil. Now there is a guy on here with a stock truck with 700k on it and still running strong all he had run is rotella roadmedic is his name. But I guess any 15w40 is better than none.

I have personally seen rod bearings out of a truck with 325k that looked new all she ran was delo 400 from first oil change.

I don't know what break in would be. Every motor I built I drove it from start like I was going to drive it it's whole life and have had good luck that way. Hopefully someone will chime in on more info for break in
