Default Break In

I Got 515 miles on MY06... is it smart to let her loose yet or should i just go by normal break in procedure..... its hard not to be able to unleash her.

Your motor should be fine; its the rest of the drivetrain and suspension that needs to settle.

Wait it out, it's not worth it.

I couldn't resist on the way home from an SF trip. 750 miles and she saw VTEC.

This is what I did:

No VTEC till the 500 mile mark on the odo. No redline till the 1000(or 1500, I cant recall) mile mark. No synthetic oil till after 10k miles. Seemed to work, I guess.
