Very nice! Remember to break it in properly! Is WOT pulls something that should be done during break in? I am asking because I am breaking in myself.
I will be taking a conservative approach to my break in. You are correct no WOT during initial break in. I plan to change the oil in a few more miles. Then again at 500 miles from the initial oil change. Then again at 1500 miles. From there standard oil changes.

Do you have a link for those hoses and fittings you used on that catch can setup?
They are Evil Energy AN6 Hoses, fittings and hose clamps. I will say the AN6 hose was a tight fit but I made it work - just took a bit of elbow grease and some extra force. I ordered some AN8 hose and fittings for the catch can on the passenger side catch can. I will post on this build thread if this is a better size. I don’t have link with me at this time, but will post once I get home. Shop around to get the best price. I used both Amazon and summit racing.

My engine booklet says first one at 500 miles then again at 5K then I can switch over to full synthetic after that.

That is what both of my build book also states. Like I said, I’m going conservative. When I started this venture and working with Texas Speed about my rotating assembly I purchased from them, his recommendation was to go the conservative route. After the money I put in this build, an extra oil change will not break the bank.:)

Hit 700 miles on the new engine. Absolutely love this upgrade. Changed the oil yesterday. All looking good. Pushed it a little harder today. Spun the wheels taking off and again when hitting second gear. Squawked the tires when hitting third. This thing moves.

AN 8 hose and fittings (hose clamps) work great.
