Is my car getting stronger with more miles I just finished a rebuild on my motor a while ago. I have been playing with WOT getting on the freeway and what not. I did the first WOT at about 1200 miles. It has 1800 on it now and it feels like it gets faster the more miles I put on it. Is it my imagination, or is it getting stronger with miles???

Re: Is my car getting stronger with more miles Usu. engines will dyno better after they have had more miles on them. I have read a few Car and Driver long term test articles where after 30,000 miles and a retest a car will actually drop some time in the quarter mile.

Seriously, these engines will run quicker (and, of course dyno higher) after they get 10K or more miles on them.

Re: Is my car getting stronger with more miles I also noticed a big defferece fron new to about 10-15000 miles. Somewhere in that range my car got a lot stronger. Of course after about 20000,I decided to mod the bag out it,now it weally screws
