Default New heads are on. What kind of break in?

Great News!
Just heat cycle the springs in and let it rip. I got the report back that we beat you know who on the flow numbers up to .520 lift and I was very excited about that, I couldn't find your number to talk to you about it though, how does it run? And when are you going for dyno tunning?
Enjoy!

Joe Prince.

Joe Prince.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Iv just been cruising at ~2000 til I got a good idea what I needed to do to break em in. The tuning is definately off, so I will have to make an appointment with Geoff at TR to get her retuned.

I did push it to 3k, then 4, then finally took it to 5000. On the pull to 5k it was a definate steady STRONG pull. I will rev her up all the way to the limiter on my way to work tonight.

BTW, those crane cams lifters I used sure are loud.

I hope to have dyno and track time in sometime this month.

Thanks for the great product Joe.
