Breaking in a motor and a clutch at the same time
#22
I can just run it up and stay out of boost by modulating the go pedal, that's not a problem at all. (Ok, it's a little hard now with the modifications made to the throttle body, but i can manage) My concern is that that's really not putting any load at all on the motor. (At least... compared to WOT in higher gears.)
But if that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I can do a couple long slow pedaling 3rd gear pulls from 20mph to 90mph and let it decelerate if that's REALLY all it's going to take.

I agree with 18psi, go drive around shifting every say 30 seconds to vary the rpm. At every stop use the engine to engine brake to a stop. Do a bunch of half throttle acceleration and engine braking. Seriously just go drive around for a couple of hours. Then you can start driving it normal. Then after a couple of days have fun, regardless of mileage. Your goal is to seat the rings and NOT glaze the clutch, KISS, dont be a dumbass. I ripped on my Boss 302 after 30 miles, smelled clutch, and chilled out. Gave it another day and started giving it hell. My 2012 was faster than a good friends 2013 who babied his IDK YMMV.
