I'm gonna use the break-in hard method that was discussed somewhere in this forum...something about making the cylinder rings seat properly? I forget exactly and I'm too lazy to look it up

I'm doing the recommended break-in for the car; be it 1000 miles or 500 miles. But within the first few miles I'm gonna get the engine into higher rpms. After about 10-20 miles of doing that I'm gonna finish breaking it in normall out of the boost.

Do you think it would be ok to put it in higher rps i.e. boost, for the first couple of miles just to have fun and then settle down for the rest of the 1000 miles?

I am going to do exactly what the owner's manual says and that's it.

Same here.

I'm going to follow the manual to the letter. Then I'm going to change the oil at 1,000, 4,000, 7,000 with a high-quality natural oil. At 10,000 miles I'll be switching to Amsoil Synthetic and running that for the rest of the life of the car.

BTW, I am considering becoming an Amsoil dealer. I'll be willing to give a discount to list members. Anyone interested?
