    I was just curious on how long i should wait to put a open cone setup in my 98 gtp after getting a rebuilt engine put in.

    I don't have it back yet but i don't want to mess up breaking in the engine buy adding a open cone to it.

    The only thing that needs broken in is the rings.

    And break it in HARD.

    If you drive it too easy the rings will never seat.

    Read that. Also google Hard engine break in.

    This was actually a very good read.

    And throw that open cone on that mother sucker before you even fire it up.
