FWIW, everyone I know with high hp cars says that whole break-in thing is bs...most either put it on the dyno or on the strip and break it in at wot. I've read some articles that the whole taking it easy thing does more harm than good. Mine was 'broken in' on the dyno at w2w and now it's got a few hundred miles with no problems whatsoever...

but when mine was broken in, it was warmed up, cool down, change oil, get the **** beat out of it on the street and dyno for like 300 miles, and then i got to drive it.
and...... 468/466 from a stock headed 408 resulted.
