It is running on a partial tune from last year that makes it driveable but I can't beat on it. So once the initial break I am of the engine is done I will be bringing it to Shane up at db performance for a tune

Gotcha, so you would work from the initial break-in period. Sounds like you have a good plan. I believe most guys use a different weight oil during break-in too, like a lighter 5w-30 before going to 20w-50.

Yeah one I switch from the amsoil break in I'll probably run a 5w30 conventional at least until it gets warmer out
