Best way to break in this motor?
I am rebuilding a stock motor from a 3.0 to a 3.5. I had the car tuned for 3.0 with a turbo. After the rebuild how do I set the A/F with the extra displacement w/o tearing up the engine during the break in period to accomadate the extra displacement?
I have heard that during break in you shouldn't redline the engine. So what is the best way to keep my A/F mixture from getting lean?
Thanks in advance.

Cool, I have read that when breaking in a motor you shouldn't redline it untill it is broken in. therefore not able to dyno it a couple of times to set the A/F 
I needed to ask the experts here first to make sure. So thanks.

"break it in how you want it to run"
there are so many theories on how you are supposed to break in a motor, but I don't think any of them are wrong. As long as the rings seat and it doesn't burn oil, you'll be alright.

Re: (EG-6SRNAC)
I called DRT they told me that I should dissconnect one of my intercooler pipes so that I never hit boost then after 300 miles I can take it to them to do the dyno tune?
What do you guys think?

i broke in my last motor build by pushing it...
alot of people will tell you to break it in like you would drive it normally...
this time around i plan on gettin the A/F good with my wideband and taking it to my tuner without boost

I would look into someone else then if they are telling you that
You do NOT want to drive the car for any amount of time with a charge pipe disconnected because you run the risk of messing the turbo up by over spinning the turbo
Every motor I have built gets started to check for leaks, towed to the Dyno, put on the dyno and tune it... no break in and have never had any problems.
