and

(2) said that you agreed with In2Deep's break-in method, which included, among other things: "For a performance engine -- run her through some higher rpm's every 75-100 miles, but not to redline. Ever. So, 10-12 run-throughts up through higher rpms within the first 1000 miles."


Your previous posts sound awfully similar to what I described above, and yet you called my posts short sighted without providing any reasoning or even recognizing that other viewpoints are valid. One of the many problems with stating your opinions in a conclusory manner as if they were proven facts. Just sayin'.
