I did the motoman style break in this time but was working to get my AFR's richer as I did so it didn't get much more than 5 psi for the break in, but I did to a bunch of vacuum deceleration "pulls." Brought it back solved an oil leak and went back out for some adjustments and did more of the same. I agree with the motoman stuff about all the really important stuff happening right away, so I warmed it up and took it out and hoped for the best. It all worked, so I'm pretty happy, and it feels great for 8 psi.

btw, the last time I did it, I got a small part of the fuel map good enough to limp to DB and threw it on the dyno with maybe less than 20 miles on it.

What I want to know is about clutch break ins. Is it kind of like engines where they recommend 500 miles, but really it's only a few engagements?
