Regarding opinions, if you look at most competition style engines they don't get 1k miles of break in. I warm the engine up, make sure there's no leaks, change the oil after burping coolant, getting the fans to cycle, and then go for a drive. Make sure the tune is right on the drive, again no leaks, and everything is fine, then start doing pulls with full engine braking. After 15-20 pulls I change the oil again and it's good to go. My engines usually burn less oil than others and make good power.

Lots of ways to skin the cat, but in general the "hard" break in works well for something that's going to see a good bit of power.


Thanks for the info! That seems to be what I’m getting from the “hard” break in.Less oil consumption and less break in time. Seems to be a good way to go.
