[QUOTE="Fourcam330, post: 3095582, member: 24445"] A world class engine builder once told me in regard to the break in of a new motor: "It's either going to work, or it isn't". Meaning, beat the piss out of it. For instance, they break $50k NHRA prostock bike motors in on the dyno, hard. The rings will be seated (95% of the way anyway) by the first time you climb in the car, so consider the engine broken in. I would as already suggested vary the rpm, and try to do some mixed driving. With that being said, since the entire car/driveline is new I wouldn't powershift for at lesat 500 miles for the sake of the trans/clutch. After that rip away. Naz followed the mototune usa break in procedure which is backed by a few reputable builders. [/QUOTE]
