2000 mi computor adjustment ?
I didn't know there was a CRUISE IN at the local RAX tonight. I saw it, and stopped by, lotta sweet ol cars, even a 68FB, RR, ***aro's etc. 1 05 6, and a 06 GT vert, I felt pretty cool when my 'STANG got some immediate attention. Anyway, the guy with the vert asks me how many mi ? I say 630. He sez "hurry up and get 2000 on it". Because at 2000 the computor adjusts, and let's full power to the engine. He could tell,....... I was like WTF ????
I really am skeptical about this. I've not read, heard or seen anything like this. Granted, they do "loosen" up some, and get a little faster with some miles on them. But,................. the computor "let's loose to full power ??"
ANYONE'S THOUGHTS ??? SOMEBODY, ANYBODY

I bought my GT from a Saleen Ford dealer, one of the mechanics that does performance mods at the dealer told me that the car (engine) will loosen up after 2-3K miles. He said its only soemthing you notice if you can drive a fresh car vs. one with a few thousand miles on it

Technically and logically it makes sense. I have no idea if it is true but the computer does control every aspect of the cars performance so it would be easy to program it to take it a bit easier for the first 2,000 miles. Kind of like a “forced” break-in period you can’t do anything about…
It would be interesting to know from people who state they have a lag in performance due to the drive by wire. In other words some people say it seems like it takes a second or two after they smash the gas peddle until the motor goes. I wonder if it is more prominent before 2,000 miles.

I know in car&driver that when they have tests on new cars and then again after 30K or so miles the 1/4 mile times drop by a few tenths and gas mileage comes up. Makes sence an engine losens up. I'm sure that the programer guys can tell you that there is no break-in program installed though..
