Definatley, check with your engine builder. You'll need to to know clearances to make the most educated decision, but since they built it just go by what they say (for warrantee purposes). Also, you must use a dino oil, no synthetic stuff, because the rings will not wear against the cylinder walls to seat. Don't forget to frequenly change the oil, to get the shavings out, from the build process.

Anyone ran the Redline 20WT Race Oil (5W20)???

Consistent wear and operation in drag racing classes like Stock and Super Stock (many switch to 5WT for Class Racing)
