That seems incredibly long.

Way too long. But then again, we didn't build and warantee the motor

Mine will be broke in on the engine dyno, prior to installation.

Did you go EFI? I'm wondering how I will be able to dyno tune my car when it's finished if I have to break it in for 1000+/- miles.

No mine was just the stage 3 upgrade prior to the EFI kit being available.

You will use a different method on the dyno. You will want to steady state the car in stages. When you are done tuning AFRs then the system will be near broken in.

UD -

Thanks to your great post, I just ordered a CF shroud from Autobahn Extremist. How did it fit?
Any tips to share or experiences with it?
