yeah it's not like there are rings to seat or anything.

you should be able to get on it as soon as you pull out.
might be prudent to take it easy for first few miles just to make
sure everything is installed right and nothing it too loose or too tight or grinding or whatever
then go for it.


ORIGINAL: primetime5.0

i didnt wait anytime, my mechanic said go for it

In that case as soon as I figure out who's watching the kids then I think I'll go out and see how she feels( assuming the weather stays ok 'cause it looks like it might get nasty)

i'd start off with a highway cruise and see where your RPM's are at and that kind of stuff

then i would hit up a back road and see how faster it accelerates through the gears

then i would find another back road and light 'em up (brake stand) [8D]

my 3.27's will roast them all the way through 1st so im sure ur 4.10's will be chirping

OMFG!!! These 225 aren't going to cut it, I'm going to need something with a little more traction. At WOT from a dig they keep smoking until I run out of room behind my house.
