Looking for break-in advice on the L-6 Motors
Well, we are finally almost done with our re-cage, and almost all the parts are back on the car. Hopefully this weekend we will be running the new motor for the first time. I was just wondering how you guys break-in your rebuilt L-6 motors for the track? Does it need to run under a load a fair amount before we hit the racetrack at PBIR next weekend, or do we just need to run it for a half hour to get a rough tune, and set the rings (deves) a bit? Also how easy should we take it on the motor the first couple of weekends? And lastly do you do anything special breaking in a new clutch (NAPA) for the track on the Z's?

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
