I agree. I did testing this past weekend with the 540 motors and its break in.

Out of the box on the Turbo dyno was better than reading taken at 3hours, 5hours and 8hours of water break in. Of the reading taken during break in, 5 hours yielded the best results, however still less than out of the box.
