I'm going to get some resistance for this... But I have talked with the folks at Engle Cams about it.
After your cam and lifters are seasoned and broken in, additive is no longer needed.  After the first (non break in) oil change, I run the cheapest non synthetic on the shelf.  The only cam I've ever lost was in the 1st 1000 miles and it was from a batch of blanks that were later found to be the wrong hardness.  Nothing would have saved it.
