Almost at 1200 miles

AweSam8 · 12-16-2013, 10:08 AM

Almost at break-in point. I'm at 1180 miles. I did my best not to go over 4k and fluctuate the rpm's. I did have some "accidental" 4500-5500 rpm revs.

So what should I do when I get to the 1200 mile mark? Gun it? Or gradually increase my revs?

Girl over at the Welt said when I hit 1200, then I can use the paddle shifters but not until then. So I guess, we can gun it by then?

I never knew you had to wait til "break-in" to start using paddle shifters.
