I will have no choice but take it easy at first. By the time the shop gets done and I get on the hwy it will be rush hour traffic.

hey all- new here.

The guys at HP Performance put 4.30s in my 06. The 500 mile break in sucked! Very happy with the gears.

And I havent stoped smiling yet. got probably 59,000 on my stang now driveing it like i stole it. Not one problem. I have no gear whine. These freaking cars are tough if you ask me. Ask the ford guys I guess, or some techs on this site. But you arent going to tell me that drag racers dont make gear changes the night before they race. Then again on my 750 gixxer your not suppose to go over 6000rpms for the frist 600 miles. LOL that lasted about 10 miles. Only rule i do respect is when breakin an engine in dont keep it at the same rpm for long periods of time.

I run the same break in rule, drive it like it's going to be driven.. My gears were doing 1/4 passes hours after install and burnouts minutes after install.

As for bike break in, beat that fucker senseless, driving it like an old lady tends to cause a sleepy motor. I did that with a track 600 of mine, and it was a turd in comparison to every other same make 600 I went up against. My 1000 on the other hand was ridden hard 5 seconds after purchase and it was seen as a freak locally. Everyone assumed motorwork was done, yet it was all stock.. Firm believer in given them a beating.
