Pretty much just like it sounds start up and let warm to temp shut it off till cool and repeat, this will break in the bearings and give everything a chance to settle in! The number or cycles probley is debatable.

Surly there isn’t to many people doing that. Can that rally run the engine in or is it just a race thing or something?

Its the way i did mine i didnt have time to break it in becouse i was traveling to the tunners. I belive if its clearenced correctley theres no problems. After tunning i went home and had maybe 200 mile on it and the third run at the track was a 10.87 and its been smooth sailing for over a year.
And how would you put big miles on a race motor thats running 45psi plus so i think its in the build how much the break in is.

Why'd you change the hood Ernie? Good luck at E-Town. You should try getting that IRS record on the stock FD trans though.

Hey Justin,
I needed a vented hood and ain't no way the stock tranny will hold up. Im tired of changing them out. With the G-Force its one and done!
