How many of you guys went to the drags and see those guys tear a 8000hp engine down to the block hone it install new rings,bearing,gaskets then put it together fire up then go to the starting line only to run 3 seconds @ 300mph+.

So much for a slow easy break in.
To be fair, that's for a different purpose. My s2000 engine got a very hard break in, but the goal there was power.
