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.
