Gonna try and have it broke in within a week after its running, then head to Tony Wildmans for tuning at the track. Should get some good videos and time slips, hoping for 12's on #2 only.

I was told to put 1k miles on it before running it hard, thats what i was refering to as "break in" although it wont be 100% broke in for 10k+ miles. Picked the engine up, got rod tq specs, so tonight comes paint and gettig the bottom end sealed up.

yep were there..... just gotta get an ic pipe modded a touch due to the DI IC not matching up like a 6oh cooler and i also added a 3.5" dp so i have to get some exhaust work to make it all go together. I did however fire it up for about a minute or so this afternoon.
