do you have to wait untill the car is fully warm before driving it. i know performance valve springs are brittle when cold, so whats a good temp before driving or just wait untill fully warm. im going to have patriot golds if that helps at all. Thanks

for break in i would heat cycle the car 2 times. This means to runn the car to it reaches 200-210 and shut it down. Let it cool off and do the same thing but instead of shutting it down take it for a spin. I would wait 50-60miles or normal drive before i put the peddle though the floor.

On a normal day i would say 1 min of idle time is good for getting them warm enuff to go out and run it.

I let it reach ~100*F before I go.(nothing to do with ambiant temp)

dude you're in dubai. Everything's 100°F or warmer all the time.

I watch the oil temp in my vette. If it's below 100°F, I keep the RPMs below 2500. If it's above 120°F I can go to redline.

That is why I said, nothing to do with Ambiant Temperature

too funny. It's too bad none of the locals appreciate your f-body. I hope you've taken a few of those AMGs and ferraris to school. You know a guy with a red Radical that hangs around Sheikh Zayed road? you ever run him?

I usually let mine run for like 3-5 min. when its really cold and then I don't rev over 2000 rpm until its up to full temp.
