Looks good! Did you build it or have it done? Are you still going to run your OMP? Looks like it.

Talking thanks

Talking break in sucks!!!

break in is going to suck bad!!!!

The guy at nopi said the more break you allow, the stronger the engine is going to be.

He recommends.

drive 500 miles, NO BOOST, under 3,500 rpms, change oil.

Drive another 500 miles, NO BOOST, under 3,500 rpms, change oil.

Repeate this step until your up to 1,500 miles.

After that, he says I can go a little longer between oil changes and then for the next 500-1000 miles you can begin to open it up a little bit, but no hard driving, i.e track.

Change the oil again after you put 2,000-2500 miles on her, then she should be good to rip open!!!

I've always wondered why it was on the front. both housings have the hole. why not put it in the rear since that one seems to blow the most?


that paint jop is crappy though. they painted over all the gasket areas and oil filter area. that should have been all masked off.

Man ... I'll be in the same boat by the end of July. But I have some made restraint and control so i'll be able to do that break-in regiment.

I'll just keep in mind the suffering I went through seeing the car broken and sitting in the driveway ... then remember all the waiting, then the BILL for the blown ... That should be enough persuasion to keep your foot off the gas ...
