From ashes

Glad you're making progress with this! Think it'll be 100% ready for the spring cruise?

What's the eta of it being done? Getting excited now?

[Trogdor]

It'll be ready sometime next week hopefully. Ron's gotta figure out his schedule and then I'm going to take the day off for dyno and raping the remaining 4mm of tread on the tires :)

that's awesome man I know all too well what it's like to have your car down and the wait involved the great thing is by the time you get it back up and running it's like having a new car all over again!

Umm, you still have to break it in..

[Kracka]

I'm sure Ron is planning to break it in on the dyno. I'd honestly be more concerned about clutch break-in.

[goodhart]

idk, depends on how he wants to do it I suppose. Tim just had his car built pretty similar (Built motor, EF turbo, new clutch, etc) and he gave him a break in tune and told him to put some miles on it before they tuned for any real power. That would seem to be a good idea on this car.

[Trogdor]

Ron was talking about that today. He said Tim's only driven about 900 miles on this tune. I drive a little more than that in a month. Less so now because I have a beater and still running on summers. But even with that said, I could easily have 1000 miles on it before April.

By "break in" are people here referring to initial ring seal, or a prolonged period of lighter use to discover other anomalies, before turning up the burner?

I can never tell on web forums.

[goodhart]

I would think the latter.
