When your stuff arrives, just take some temp checks on the motor from the first one or two runs. 145*-170* is usually optimal temps when driving, anything 175~*+ is starting to push the motor, but chances are if your not racing it or are doing ballistic speed runs it shouldn't be an issue. Just remember that the outside of the motor will almost be in all scenarios, cooler than the inside. IF its under 145* you could gear up and not worry about it, but if its any higher than 175* gearing down is to be considered. As for the lube, I would recomend MOO Slick, it works really well and keeps the dirt form bulding up. Otherwise a very thin film of lithium grease or black grease will be fine.
