ok so i'm in the process of breaking in my .21 grp tuned engine.

i have let 5 tanks idle with the tire foam around the head with temps approximately 160-180 and 4 tanks in the street with the top end very rich
running the same temps 160-180.

my question is: when is the right time to start "tuning" it for power..taking it to the track and actually driving/racing it?

what are some good "do" or "not do" tips once i start driving it at the track? what kinda temps should i be looking for as the motor continues to break in?
