Default 331 stroker broken in

i finally have broken in my 331 stroker im at my first oil change on the car and it running awesome. Today coming home i beat a 3 seris BMW and then after i got my oil, filter, and 2 cans of sea foam for my oil change i raced a Trans Am and i left him in the dust. Its great and it would have been even better if i had the 3.55 gears im going to put in my car. I beat him with the slow 2.73 it funny and the best part is is that i get 19.5 mpg too.

its not a new motor it has 40,000 miles on it. i got it from my uncle's car bc he's putting a 351 in his car. im running a can in the gas tank to clean everything in the fuel lines and injectors and then half a can in the oil to clean the lifters, RR, etc and then the other half in the tb to clean everything else
