break in procedures

Seems like I am hi-jacking my own thread now

What I was planning is to break in the engine for at least 2,000 ~ 2,500 miles
with the usual procedures:
* don't rev over 4000 RPM
* no lugging
* change speed/RPM frequently
* change oil/filter at 1,000 miles

I have about 6 weeks to do that. As my Box is my daily driver I put about 1,500 miles / month on it nyways and I was planning to do some nice weekend trips as well. That should bring me to 2,500 miles on the new engine before mid-August

And it worst comes to worst: Nobody forces me to redline the engine on the track, I might as well take it "easy" (6,000 RPM max) and focus more on the line

Comments, Suggestions?

Chris, sounds good! 2,000 miles is fine. You don't need to go the extra 500.
