It doesnt need to be broken in, unless you removed the cam beam guide, in which case you need to make sure you have enough cam fluid and then run the car while pouring sand in your intake without the filter on

i'd say there isn't really a break in for cams bucause all they do is roll so if there lubricated your good to go. kinda like breakin in a turbo there isn't one.

Yeah, I know that Ray, you've been a great help in everything involving my car...but it wouldve been a guitar and an amp, i think...you're a contributing factor why I got my exhaust, tires, rims and suspension too...not to mention the harassment on getting a new stereo system
Hey, and guess what car my younger sister has decided she wants? An Evo, dang straight, she wanted a prius at one point, and some big truck...poor kid, 12 years old and forced to think about cars by her brother and father all the time. Just some useless information for everyone.

It's douche bag you idiot!

No word on the hon-duh yet. He won't have a chance to look at it until later this week. He did a quick check for major items and didn't find anything. May just be something simple ... like the AEM EMS freaking out because of all of the banging around while racing.

Regardless, unlike Mitsu****a ... Alaniz Technologies stands behind their motor warranties, even when the whole point of all of the work is for RACING.

BTW -- you may want to checkout http://www.accusump.com/ and add a goodie to your wish list.
