just be a little bit more patient until you get over the break in period, just to be on the safe side.

There's a plethora of information on here about how to break in our vehicles. I'm sure a quick search will net you some good results.

Some people say to baby the thing and don't like to go over 3k rpms, others say stay under the 5k rpms, but boost the car hard and engine break in order to help seat the rings

That is what I say to do.

My previous car 2004 Dodge SRT-4. In most cases those that drove it like they stole it right after purchase dynoed more than the ones that babied the car.

Every car i've had, I take it easy for the first 100 miles or so, then start workin on it, a little bit harder every day, and finally after a week, I just beat on the car whenever.
