Timing chain had been changed...He used and supplied me with ZDDP...HP fuel pump installed and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Gotta decide on a replacement for the poston chip.
Turbo tweak 5.7 chip for pump gas. Easy to adjust with a scan master if you want to make changes, but with the specs you give Eric it will run great right out of the box.

there is one other ...very rare ...coolant additive which provides the pinnacle of lubrication for the system...it is very expensive due to the harvesting process...and I only know of one place to get it...

Do you plan to continue adding ZDDP or purchase oil with it added?
Dino or synthetic?

I wonder if it comes from the same source...
I had the qwik lube use synthetic. Do I still need to use the ZDDP?

What filter did they use?
Best to start a thread on the oil question, that way it will be clear with all the input.

You still need ZDDP.
You don't wan't to add ZDDP to an oil that has very low levels. There is a relationship between detergents and ZDDP. If the ratio isn't right,bad things can happen. You want to use a 5W-30 oil that has plenty of ZDDP added by the oil formulators.
Driven LS30 is a good example of a full synthetic 5w-30 oil with plenty of ZDDP.
Summit Racing 5w-30 is a good example of a conventional oil with plenty of ZDDP and it is currently on sale for $5.99 a quart.
Valvoline VR1 conventional racing 10w-30 silver bottle should be a very good option at a price point in between the Summit and Driven and readily available at the local parts stores. I don't know that anything else would actually be any better.

At the very minimum, get a modern chip from Eric at Turbo Tweak, gasoline formulations have changed dramatically since the 80's and 90's.
The ZZDP additive or oil with ZZDP already added with each oil change is also essential for the 130k engine.
New injectors, well, because 130K, have Eric match the chip to the new injector size you decide on. New Fuel Pump well, because 130K. Hot Wire kit, because new Fuel Pump.
Scanmaster, because most any question you have, to help diagnose it, the Scanmaster readings will be a HUGE help.

He has a car with 130K on it. RMI will exploit ANY weakness in his cooling system, if there is one.
