at 450 and still waiting

I ran mine really hard and it started going really good after 350 miles. I know it will get better, after 700 miles, it got better yet.

SS 376 · 09-21-2009, 05:29 PM

I think I'm going to do a dyno soon after I pick up my SS then another one 500-600 miles later to see if this is a real phenomenon.

CamaroFemme · 09-21-2009, 08:49 PM

I had heard more like 3000-5000?

ibznu2010 · 09-21-2009, 08:54 PM

I am at 4600 L-99 & having problems now with spinning. Would not turn tires when new. I leave about 25 feet of rubber from dead stop punch.

Wake up maybe ..like as it breaks in I found it ran cooler and smoother at 1500 miles I drove it a littler harder and now at 1900 miles we have both learned each others driving habbits.Maybe its me or the car but we truck along much better now!!!

If you break it in right, after a few hundred miles it should be laying some serious rubber.

mine opened up at 400 miles, and after my 600 mile oil change I started beating on it pretty good
