So what is considered a good milage point, post break in, to have a baseline dyno run done ? By the time I get back to TX from picking up the car in Bowling Green I should have well over 1k in milage on it.

Thank you. I should be somewhere in that area by the time I get back to Waxahachie. If the weather holds, I will come back via the Dragon's Tail. Should be a good way to break things in.

You should be good at 1,k miles with no problems. If you can stop at some dealer at around 500 miles and get the free oil chg in her.

I don't have a dry sump. That is the only one that qualifies for the 500 mile freeby oil change.

I'm not saying I won't do it, simply pointing out that it is dealer discretion when it comes to a non dry sump engine. Besides which, I am picking the car up at the museum. I really don't want to mess with finding a dealership out on the road 750 miles from home.

You will be at that point that you are looking at. That is with the meth & a good tuner on the car. Let us know & see the sheet on her when you get the car back. You cant go wrong with any set up from Andy. One if not the best vendors in this forum he is truly 100% customer service then some.. Robert
