What to expect? A hell of break-in... take your time to break-in don't rush it and when finished, prepare to tear-up the track.

my sti is just fully run in and its a quick engine, plenty of power all thru the range and make sure you stock up on tyres as this motor likes to chew them up and spit them out

Yea, we have a Regional race in October, and I want to have it broken in fo that race. I don't have another Evo, but my TZ 5 port should do.

Depends on the fuel rules. Normally we are only allowed 16% but for other races we can use any %. But I wouldn't go any higher than 30%. You would also have to add a 0.1 shim if using anything more than 25%.

on a big track do most ppl run 16% or 20% and do you add a shim all the time.

try to preheat your engine with a hair drier or a termic puffer
