I've shearched and couldn't find anything is there any break in period on a new stall, I think i've heard this some where, or can i just go out and stomp on it.
Thanks

The instructions that came with mine said to keep the rear wheels off the ground and let it idle in reverse and then in drive for 5 mins. while checking the trans fluid level.

I beleive John and Fuddle told me I didn't have to break it in. Go out and put the hammer down (I would make sure your fluid level is full first)

I let mine go through 50 lockup cycles before getting on it.

I would still run easy for about 500 miles.

after the installation i rolled out on the highway and ate the tires for about 60'. i gave it no chance to "break-in" or anything else. however, i was and still am VERY cautious about the lock-up. as in...i'll haul *** to ~45mph and then ease off the gas so it will only drop a couple hundred rpm when it locks...versus going light throttle so at ~40 it drops from 3k to 1,400. plus i just can't keep my foot out of it.

That seems to be a common problem in the ls1 community.
