CT4-V 500 mile advice.

[CaliBW]

I am getting close to ECU engine release. Any tips/advice/warnings/etc on launch RPM with a 6sp.

 

[LF4472]

The break-in schedule for hard launches is 1500 miles due to the rear diff and axles.

The best 500 mile advice....wait until 1500 miles.

Change engine oil and rear diff oil afterwards. Then let er' rip.

I know I'm an outlier here, but I let my BW eat at 500 miles. No track days, burnouts, high speed driving, etc, but moments of spirited 2-4 shifts. I think the oil consumption threads are folks that were too afraid to give it some pedal early on. Only recommendation I have is change the engine oil and filter.
