you can break it in with a dyno run. but would recommend you tune it before you break it in.

ok... and i was told before tuning on a dyno would be a waste of time and money unless i was doing turbo. all im doing is a d15b7 block with stock internals. putting a z6 head and intake manifold on. then the ususal I/H/E and the p28 ecu. nothing crazy i just dont want to mess it up right after i do it bc i didnt break it in properly. (if needed)
