Ok..... How should the Bumboclaat be Broken in?
Ok..... What do you think the safest way to break in this new beast of a motor?
Again this is the motor...
283 Full built motor with VT stage 2 blower cams, Stock PI heads, and Procharger P-1 running 12 psi.... (I wanna go 14, we'll make that dession on the final dyno day)
650 mile drive from El Paso to Killeen texas at 60mph on straight highway with little stop and go traffic.
or.....
Ship the damn thing to me and break her in the "old fasion way" with stop and go city traffic for about 600 to 1000 miles.

Mmmmm. So no 1/4 runs at the track for a little while..... Awwwwwwwww....... And I really wanted to give Code a little taste of the Bumboclaat since I missed out on the Centex Shootout this weekend.... Bummer.
