Nissan Dyno's engines just like any other manufacturer to make sure its up to spec, that doesnt mean you have to beat the crap out of it when you get it.

Whats the point of risking it guys? do a few hundred miles under 4000, then the next few hundred gradually going up to redline till you get to 800-1000 miles. That way everyone is satisfied. Beating the crap out of a car to make it faster sounds a little silly to me. Let everything sit GRADUALLY. Neither the sissys nor the drive it like you stole its are right.

Gradual break in period.
Nissan dyno'ing the engine is beating the crap out of it at it's most fragile state.
