500 Miles: Keep under 3k rpm, then oil change to get rid of the metal flakes.
501-3000 Miles: Ok to floor it, but take it easy, then oil change again.
3001+ Miles: Do whatever you want to.

**bluefields88** · 12-20-2007, 10:49 AM

how are you going to get dyno'd if you have to stay under 3K RPM?

I already have 1000 miles on the new motor & already did my oil change at 500 miles.
(I drive over 70 miles round trip daily to work).

**bluefields88** · 12-20-2007, 11:19 AM

**ggino85** · 12-20-2007, 12:42 PM

I believe the only reason they agreed to put headers & bolt-ons on my car was because the engine wasn't even in the car yet.

The service manager mentioned, this was the first time they have done a project like this.

**bluefields88** · 12-20-2007, 05:14 PM

wow, that's local! sweet.

**01SOMSS!** · 12-21-2007, 06:07 AM

This wasn't just the Engine though, this price included:
NEW: Belts, Hoses, Plugs, Wiring, AC Compressor & Condensors, Coolant lines, Heater lines, Seals, Gaskets, Fluids,
Alternator, Battery Mount, Rear end service & complete Tranny service + more!

On top of that, this price included FREE installation of thousands of dollars worth of bolt-ons & 3 1/2 months of FREE rental car.

Finally, the dealership has already changed my oil free @ 500 miles & they did a $300.00 Clay/Machine Buff/Detail on my car.
(They got all my scratches out!)

ok mr. salesman, where do i sign up??? very nice ride

I got lucky on the price is all... They undercharged me drastically on all the labor.
Thank you for the compliment!

Dyno'd the car this morning as planned & discovered it isn't running right.
The tuner told me the right passenger 02 blocked.
I already went to the store & bought a new 02, tuner said this must be immediate. He said it will be more powerful after.

I will install it in about 20 mins or so, but anyway here are my #'s:

Stock Cam & Heads
346hp To the wheels
355 Torque

I will post the dyno sheet when I get home.
