Looking into upgrading my SS's rear end by installing the ZL1 kit from Chevy performance but it doesn't mention any break in procedures, anyone know if there are any? Wouldn't want to throw it straight on the dyno and ruin it the first weekend it's done.

Several heat cycles is all that is needed. Run the car normal and then let the car cool down fully several times would be ideal but really not necessary

The heat cycle is good advice. If you haven't already ordered the kit... good luck finding it. I have been waiting for back order for several months... finally received my package and low and behold it was not a complete kit. GM doesn't know when the half-shaft, part# 22953759 and washer (# 19299751) will be available. Everything else is ready to ship. Crazy right?
