cam break in
cam break in I have a 2000 auto camaro and I am in the process of installing a mild cam. I heard I have to drive it 500 miles to break it in befor a dynotune. Is this true??

Uh... no. It's a freakin' roller cam, there's nothing to "break in". This isn't a flat tappet cam that needs to establish a wear pattern. Install it and go to the dyno. Won't hurt a thing.

Rear end gears should be broken in... drive 30 miles, shut it off, let it cool completely, repeat 3 times. Then take it easy for a few hundred miles and then you should be good to go.
