Default Break In OIL -Joe Gibbs BR and BR30

PLEASE ONLY REPLY IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY USED THIS! Thanks!

Question is:

Is it worth the money? It will cost approx $7.99/quart to run for a max time of 20min?
- It is supposed to do the following:
BR OIL:
Specifically designed for breaking in engines and flat tappet camshafts and lifters, BR break-in oil provides high levels of Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in a mineral base oil. BR protects flat-tappet camshafts and lifters during break-in and it provides excellent ring seal. Combined with Joe Gibbs Driven Engine Assembly Grease, BR provides the highest levels of protection for camshafts, lifters, wrist pins, distributor gears, push rods and valve retainers. BR is fully formulated and requires no EOS or other additives. BR should be pre-heated to 180F before firing the engine for maximum protection. Because it is a 15W-50, BR can be used for up to 2 hours of break-in/dyno time before changing to race oil

BR30 OIL:
Specifically designed for breaking in engines and flat tappet camshafts and lifters, BR and BR-30 break-in oils provide high levels of Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in a mineral base oil. BR and BR-30 protect flat-tappet camshafts and lifters during break-in and provide excellent ring seal. Combined with Joe Gibbs Driven Engine Assembly Grease, BR and BR-30 provide the highest levels of protection for camshafts, lifters, wrist pins, distributor gears, push rods and valve retainers. Our break-in oils are fully formulated and requires no EOS or other additives.

Now when they say "can be used for 2hours engine break in time" are they talking about after the initial drain of the oil to remove the possible contaminants/metal shavings/debris?

My boy/local shop owner suggested to use this and told me to look it up and find out if I wanted to spend the cash to try it...SO HERE I AM ! LOL

This is what I have always heard is supposed to be the process:

Fill with reg straight 30 non-detergent oil startup idle to operating temp/then hold revs at 2500rpm for X time....then drain and refill with regular oil of choice.

You know I hate the learning process...BUT I want to just start it idle it until operating temp and then changing the oil and breaking it in on the dyno? Am i stubborn and I should just shut the f up and do as i am told?

i asked my tuner his way of breaking in a new motor, he said just start and let it idle, change oil, then tailoring it to dyno. if it doesnt blow on dyno it wont blow on the ride home!

from experience that is not the truth...I have had a motor run great for 30k miles no issues then put it through the abuse of daily 35miles of 15psi for 9k miles and go for a retune with race gas and BOOM the motor lets go on the dyno...Hmmmm

I seem to have gotten a better response on the Drag forum...some have heard good things and I will drop the cash and give it a shot...and report back.
