Am I Ready For WOT?

These last few days Ive been breaking in my new motor. Its a LS6 with a stock crank and forged rods and pistons. It also has a FAST 92mm and TFS 215 heads 59cc for 12:1cr (with a little help from taller pistons). The cam is a 236/243 112lsa 4degrees advanced and comes alive north of 4000rpms. This thing was put together really nice and tight since I need it to last. I just put 600mi on it and have changed the oil twice, to be safe, and have somewhat babied it. Ive taken it up to 4000 and then 5000rpm on nice steady strong acceleration to make sure the piston rings seal well, just not wot. She sounds great, no blowby or oil consumption and I can tell its gonna be fast. This is my first built motor I break in from new and Im wondering if it should be safe to give her a wot to see what she has. My tech also told me once the motor is broken in he'll add around 3-4degrees more of timing for a little more power. Cars at 18 degrees of timing and seems to like it with no detonation. So, what do you guys say? Time to punch it?

You kiddin, that thing was broken in before it got off the dyno....I assume you had a dyno tune done. Just takes a couple dyno pulls to break it in.

You're way over due to go WOT...... DO IT!!!!!
