All's well, the boost has kicked on and I set the shift point to 3200 rpm for breakin period!

.i thought iwas simply get it and hit the freaking gas [sm=gears.gif]thanks for the info....seriously. I guess I will read the book on this...I just find this interesting considering they install the supersnake and or KR upgrades prior to this break in periond..I wonder what type of a difference that makes....must read owners manual on my first day...thats interesting as my second day of ownership I will be going on a cruise...I wonder if maybe I should not do this? any opinions and or advice...SORRY OP to hijack your thread, but you brought up some interesting info...thx

I took Terry the tiger for ride in mine last night and skated the tires from a 20mph roll,As soon as they broke loose it went right to 6,000rpm in a hurry.You are in for some fun times!Terry was impressed.

being someone who has not picked his gt500 up yet....this is very informing...thx. I would have never knew there was a supercharger lapse etc and you have to set your shift point so low for break in period. .i thought iwas simply get it and hit the freaking gas [sm=gears.gif]

You better READ the manual carefully.....Regardless if you get the SuperSnake or KR, you will still have to break the SC in SLOWLY! When I picked up mine from Shelby in Vegas, I was told go easy on the SC for 200 miles with frequent Cool down periods.....Granted, I had to drive home to phoenix right away, but I did not jump on the HP at all until I had about 350 miles on it and was safely back home and cooled down a few times....
