Almost Done Break-In!!

I've had my MCS for about a month and I should pass the break in period by the end of the week. I'm looking forward to the weekend even more this week!

I have to admit, keeping the RPMs low after driving around in an old truck for a few years is one of the hardest things to do.

NjMCS,

My MCS should be arriving at the end of August. How long is the break-in period and what are the restrictions?

Break In Restrictions:

For the first 1200 miles i was told to keep the RPMs low. (below 4000) and not to drive over 80mph.

Needless to say this first weekend I should see a significant drop in my MPGs.
