500miles for sure if he is getting a new clutch.. which.. if he goes above 300 hp.. the stock clutch won't last long.. from what I have heard an reasearched our stock clutches go around for sure anything above 350

I would recommend 500 miles reguardless.. .since you have a new clutch to.. then thats just even more the point to stress the fact to break it in..

nothing worse then "" oh lets stomp on it just once "" and find that once is all it took to fubar everything

wrong, the best way to break a motor in is to take it to redline a few times.

This way the rings will seat better, and your compression will be better this way instead of taking it easy for 1000+ miles




read this, this is very similar to how I break in every motor I have put together.....

There isn't exactly a proven best way to break in a motor. Some people say take it easy and others say give it hell. From what I've read and what I've been doing is running low boost but not a whole lot of rpms. Highest I've taken mine is 4500 rpms. Boost is good for breaking a motor in but not for a clutch break in.
