Watched a story on discovery about Audi A8?(their HiPo car) the engine after cam break in was run at 5-6000RPM contiuously for like 10 minutes and then up to redline and back to 6000 RPM for another two minutes. Everyone of the motors is run like this then put in the car with fresh oil.
Was a story that Holden in Australia ran all V8 motors on the dyno for 2 minutes at 4 to 5500 RPM to test the motor before putting into the cars.
I have driven all my cars hard from new after proper warm up never had any issues, even when the LS1's (chevy) were first introduced in Holdens in Aus, and there were oil issues and motor failures.
So drive it how you should drive a V8 is my opinion
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
