With 5k on it I'd guess it would be broken in if it needed to be.

Chill out for the first few days and make sure nothing is leaking, loose or making noise. You did do a tranny cooler right? If not make that your next mod before you drive it like you stole it.

Drive it like you stole it. Shift kit is un-needed crap.

I had 51,000 on mine when I opened it up. She was like brand new inside. I have put more boost and juice through it then many here have ever seen
