normal driving conditions (not getting on it) in city type traffic for 400 miles. So they say. Highway driving doesn't count because you aren't working the clutch. I personally will have about 200 before I see the track this weekend

Really??? I have been told 400 miles w/o getting on it. Oops.. I got on it HARD, but didnt dump the clutch, so I could hear my new exhaust

I have also been told by an old dragger that he would just go out and dump it right off the bat and let it know what its going to be doing for the rest of its life lol.

I havent decided what to do yet

I spoke with a Ram tech about break-in for my Ram Powergrip. He said no break-in was needed.
