Pearost methinks!

yeah , i'll go along with what he says

Yep, that's the best way for more power. Just make sure you sell the car before the warranty runs out.

I read this recently and was quite suprised, although a friend of mine who was built his own kit car totally agrees with it and has run his new engine in by driving it fairly hard straight away for a few hundred miles using special running in oil, then changed it for normal stuff.

He got 269 BHP on a dyno last week out of it so it must be working alright for him!

(It's also blisteringly quick too - completely blew me away in my vrs )

Article itself gave me sore eyes tho. Guy is sure fond of the bright green.

Over on the BM forum I use, a guy has an M3 with only 321 hp, whereas others have 345+hp. It is thought the lesser power car was run in too gently

when i got my new works van i spanked the cr*p out of it from day one and runs perfectly and the only thing to ever let me down was a coil pack

I always run mine in by driving them "normally" and the engines have all been fine
