Anyone dyno without breaking in the motor?
just wondering if i should dyno before i really put some miles on. I have about 50 miles on my new block so far but the car is running like **** and i really want to get it tuned. The block has je pistons, eagle rods, rs motorworks sleeves. Head is stock with just all new seals and fresh valve job.
Is there any other way to break a motor in without driving it, or does the motor need load to have everything set properly?

well, 1 customer said dyno his car immediately after it was brand new built by us before.
Only 1.
And that motor ran great, and still runs great with no blowby or problems thousands and thousands of miles later.
We use high tension rings, and they are very high quality, that might have had everything to do with it.

GSRev's times:
best 1320: 10.88 sec
best mph: 132.5 mph
so you know they arent just *****-footing around...
Im totally convinced that this is the way to go. Its common sense actually. In the old days, there used to be worries about tight engine components. Now, those worries are gone, and about the only thing that it still "old" is ring seating. Get that out of the way ASAP while there is still hatching on the cylinder walls, and whoalah! Probably close to 0% leakdown...

Re: (itr206)
My dad told me years ago break it how you plan to drive it. So basically forget you ever rebuilt the motor. Just drive it like its been driven a million times before.

Re: (lazerus)
I actually had 35 miles on this motor when I put it on the dyno. . If your car is driving like crap though, I don't see how a dyno is going to help you unless you mean that it drives like crap under boost or WOT. Drivability tune is a completely different animal as opposed to WOT. Alot harder imho.
