Question spec stage 2 break-in

Ok drove around about 500 or so miles a lot of stop and go driving some highway took about 2 weeks barely have any chatter.. I heard after the 500 miles you take it to 6k and drop the clutch is this true ? Why take it to so high of an rpm and dump the clutch ??

That is not a prescribed part of the break-in process. Not sure where you heard that but I think they were likely yanking your chain! Of course, once you are through with break-in you can can start using the clutch more aggressively!

Ok I started driving it a little hard not that hard and it feels like the clutch is slipping but it it could be running.scrappy because of the Borg warner wires ill change them.out and let you guys know if it was the clutch or wires

Just be progressive as you become more aggressive. The point is to insure that you have seated the materials fully before you beat the ***** off of it!
