How many miles???

I live in NYC my 3 weeks old truck already has 2800miles on it from driving to NC for a race and back. Plus i'm going to georgia this afternoon. My question is there a limit on how many miles you should have on your engine before you start chipping it and adding exhaust and stuff?

No, there is no limit. I know some guys that had dealers install chips in their trucks when they bought them new.

I waited 1000 miles. And that was tooooo long. Do it, you wont be sorry, just take the chip out when taking the truck in for service.
