What additives should I be running in my engine and my fuel if any?

Without any doubt you should be running at least an octane boost. I run Lead Supreme 130 which is both a lead additive and octane booster. It's not easy to find though. Your 390 has a 10.2:1 compression and when new 100 octane MINIMUM was recommended. If you just run premium pump gas without octane boost you run the risk of breaking pistons.
