Also how many miles should i drive to break in the engine? I just bought my car last Thursday. It had 11 miles on it. It now has 700.
Man, you are right around the corner! LOL! I live in Saginaw Township! We'll have to hook up some time! LOL! (the Saginaw Ford dealership is having a car show next Satruday!)

As far as break in... I would say at this point drive it like normal... I would change the oil be for the recommend 5,000... I would say 2500 to 3000 miles. Then depending on your driving conditions and how you drive do the 3000 to 5000 mile change. If you want to switch to full synthetic, I waited to 10,000 miles... although that can be debate for a whole other thread! LOL!

What time is the show? I have to see your car to get ideas on what to do to mine. Like i said i just got it so i still have alot of work to do, so I will probably not enter the show. I still need to tint windows, add racing stripes, louvers, would love a shaker hood etc.......

I noticed you still have a single exhaust, does it flow as well as a dual takeoff or is the dual exhaust just for looks?
