so much for breaking my new gear in
Well I'm out putting more miles on the 4.10, still hadn't gone WOT. Come across this other loud mustang ahead of me. Get closer it's a sn95 cobra with a body kit. Not my thing, but it was super clean paint looked awesome and it sounded just like my car. So I'm behind him, on a certain two lane road. I got 140 miles since I left the dyno so I'm deciding what I wanna do. When he gets over a lane and drops a gear so I'm like eff it. When I heard him go down a gear I stood on it, I was a half car back.
It was the most obnoxious yet peaceful thing ever, we sounded so similar it wasn't like I was racing another car. Just soft breaks in th exhaust when he was shifting. Buuuut I reeled him in and when my car shifted I pulled ahead steadily put a car on him and lifted. I approve.
Side note as I sit in my car in a parking this crazy chicks trying to embarrass her friend by telling her to come over here and blow me. Lol all class

I've never done more than a couple heat cycles for gear break in. Honestly, if it isn't making noise within the first 100 miles, it isn't going to. If its whining from the start....yea
Goo run man! Hows she feel? (the car, not the bj girl)

Judging by the brand new explorer and grand caravan the BJer sisters were driving I just figured they were out of control soccer moms who got a sitter for the pups lol.
Car feels good, I tried one 30 roll but it didn't seem to like it. That used to be the sweet spot. 40 roll seemed solid for sure. Might try to rematch the g8 this weekend if I can

Yeah no big point in breaking in a gear. Like stone said just one good heat cycle is all you really need. Sounds like a good race tho! too bad you weren't loaded for spray you coulda really embarassed him haha.

Yeah not sure if South Lyon is much better lol. When I got my 3.90's installed at MRT (gee wonder if that has something to do with my username lol) Scott Hoag took me out (in my car) and showed me how to power shift and rev match...that's how we broke in mine lol
