Picked Up My New IX This Past Weekend

Spankin new Graphite Grey, no "SSL". Didn't want to pay the extra $ for stuff I really didn't want anyways. What do you think about'er!

Also Shiv / Dustin / Vishnu Crew...

What are your thoughts about the whole mineral oil breakin? I've only got 520 on the clock so far, and was going to change the oil out now that I've got it home.

Nice. Almost got one of those, but went with the EB instead as it's not as dull in some lights.

Asking breakin questions will get you tons of different answers...

Oh, and change you sig dude, you've upgraded.

Well, I've not really beat on it much since it's still in the break-in period so it's hard to tell so far. But I have noticed that it seems to have much more crisp response than any of the 8's I've driven, and the couple of times I gave it the beans it spools fast and hard. Like the Stage 2 did, only earlier. It's not near as fast though, .. .. .. yet.

The best part of teh nine is that you get almost 300 whp with only a vishnu flash and a tbe!! You needed xede, cams, cam gears, hotside, tbe and fuel pump to get that on an 03.

Yeah, and the best part is that I've already got the TBE.

I've heard good things about dino oil and a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil for a short break-in, then flush back out with Mobil-1. But YMMV.

Ever get Knockzilla figured out? I guess not seeing what you just bought, but I was wondering if the cylinder head ended up being your problem?

Great color and soo clean. I just picked mine up also 1 1/2 weeks ago in silver. Which exhaust are you going to use? The Vishnu Signature? I'm scheduled for the Vishnu flash at TT in April. Can't wait

looks nice! I broke mine in with factory fill until 800 miles. Just went through a dyno session and a couple hundred miles with zero oil consumed. I drove my car a little harder than normal during break-in also.
