Synthetic. No question. Better at everything oil does for your engine.

I say this assuming that your engine is fully broken-in. Run dyno oil for 2500 miles or so to seat the rings and then make the switch to synthetic. Flat tappet cams need a zinc additive, whether synthetic or not.

I also recommend synthetic tranny and rear axle lube. Will run quieter, cooler and last longer. Garrooonnnteeed.
