Re: best break in method

I always just had a basic tune set up already, fire it up, check for leaks for about five minutes, then go out and drive it pretty easy getting up to about 60 mph and then let off the gas and do the vacuum pulls for a good part of the first 20 miles. Then I change the oil, drive it nicely with some normal boost pulls rough tuning it, change the oil at 100 miles, then bring it to Shane for a full tune.

Just got done buttoning up the bottom end on my new 2.0 shortblock, I'll be getting ready for breaking in a new engine again here soon. Spring has sprung.
