I got to 4500-5000 with synthetic. When I run her hard I'll change it at 3500.

thats something i would do. I would make sure the first change is between 500 and a 1000. then normal after that.
My saleen manual says that for the first 500 mile the car comes with regular conventional oil for breaking and after that put sythentic then out.
