Default Erik 408 is in - Hard or Easy Break in???

I just got my Erik 408 running today. Sounds good, checked PR length and valvetrain geometry.I've put a few miles on it and have run it up to 4,000 and decelerated it in gear.What do you guys say about break in. Should I really romp on it?

Do what the builder says, especially if it has a warranty.

do you have a AF gauge on it? without knowing if the fueling is good, i'd wait on a WOT type of run.

if you want, we can meet up one night this week and i'll look it over with my hptuners. you've got my number.

The builder says break it in hard, and I think thats the plan.

Thanks for the offer Robert, I'm going to call Mike tomorrow and see what his dyno schedule is. Sounds nasty with the XER 244/248 .612/.615 and the cut out open.
