GP1292 - Makes Break In!!
FINALLY.....after 37 days...1 hour...and 43 minutes I reached my 1,200 miles. Not once did I ever taker over 4k RPM's or 60 MPH UNTIL ... NOW. I will not show the next image of my speedo...due to NAM rules. Let's just say.....WHOA....WOW...IN FREAKINCREDIBLE.
We are one lucky bunch to have one of these GP's!!

Hmmmmmmm. My salesman told me not to go over 100 mph during breakin. I guess it all depends on location, location, location.

Speed has got nothing to do with it. It's all rpm. (But car sales people throw in the mph for the ones that dont understand rpm)
1322 - I have kept below 4500 too, but it's not because of willpower. It's because I need every single pony out of this engine. A bad break-in gives you less horsepower, and less longetivity. Sad, but true.
Congrats on the break-in. I can't wait for mine. I still haven't tested the engine proper, to see how fast the rpm needle climbs to the red.
