sounds good i have a lil something saved up. my original plan was to get 1000 miles in about 3 days because i have it all worked out about were i was going to drive it lol but who knows i might get lazy and just enjoy the car for a while instead of rushing it
ya man if what i heard about you is true your car is gunna be soooo sick lol cant wait till you get it done.
i dont know what you heard since i dont talk much about what im doing with my car but it will be nice im sure. its just going to be a stock turbo SSTv3 & nitrous combo.

The most important part of a motor break in is the heat cycles. As long as you do enough proper heat cycles and don't run it really rich then you will be good.
