FWIW my machinist insists on Joe Gibbs oil as well. Says any parts store oils aren't designed to support 800hp small blocks.
also I invested in a CM remote oil filter which is a nice aluminum canister with replaceable filter elements, already to plumb with AN lines. Huge jump in filtering quality, it uses replacement filter elements that run about $12 apiece, but are instantly inspectable. In fact if you were so inclined you can replace the filter without even draining the oil.
Its really not that expensive about $120 for the initial canister and it looks way more racy then the standard remote mount parts store filter. I bought mine from Coleman racing but Hoerr sells them as well.
