I dont think you guys are going to keep it stock. As soon as the first car passes you, you will start the mods.

that's great, but i have had usually less than perfect luck with that stuff. btw honestly your mods are never quirky eg air temp & humidity changes?

I'm worse than you. I got some other issues but eventually resolve them. So that's why I learned and will take good care of the MR until...

i would say wait to at least 1000 miles.
but the owners manual says (pg3-2) to avoid revving the engine . do not exceed 5000 rpms for the first 600 miles
