I love it.

I'm really glad you took the route most people don't do. I bet on a good day that thing would run down a stock or stock-ish GTP. If I ever built a race transmission for a N/A car I'd put 3.69's in it too...that would really help ya stay in your powerband...as for the car bouncing off the limiter...might ask Paul about that...just a simple tweak in the tune most likely.

1. So are you suggesting his 3800 daily driver is a "race motor"? Just please...

2. Break-in requirements are everybodys own opinion, but if you break-in a typical engine by going WOT don't expect optimum engine life.

Even some race engines benefit greatly from break-in. We used to provide a careful break-in for our two & four stroke motorcross engines. If you didn't you could cut engine life down by a fair margin. Yes, not cars, but those engines are what I consider "race". A stock specific output of 200HP/Litre....naturally aspirated and on 92 octane, of course.
