Break-in (Speed/RPM Variance)

Magictek · 06-11-2007, 03:20 PM

How much variance in RPM is "varying"? also speed variance? I can't seem to vary either much going from 5th-6th gear at highway speeds. Is 100 RPM or say 3-4 mph enough?

No.

2K-3K is varying. Around town driving is perfect.

Break in the brakes.

I just picked mine up today. I am having one hell of a time behaving. Right now I am falling into "Drive like you stole it". I just can't help myself..

Been WOT since the car had 500-800 miles on it, the break in is a joke. They redline the car and run the motor at the factory. Break is mainly for the clutch to get proper wear. I now have over 5k miles and everything is fine.
