New car maintenance

This past weekend I was watching the guys on HorsepowerTV drop a brand new 383 stroker into a Vette when they made a couple comments about breaking the engine in. They were running regular petroleum based oil for the first couple thousand miles before switching to synthetic. Is organic oil proven to lubricate the internals more efficiently on a new motor? Is it something to do with the way organic oil bonds with the metal when it's new?

I've never owned a brand new car, so I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right for that awesome day when I own my new Camaro.
