wow. Drake use such a run in procedure too. well i think he dont really need to run it in well. he is a sponsor driver.

i believe that we should run it 1 tank and let it cool and start it again.

well i have also heard of a guy running in engine with big tank and he uses a big fan to cool the engine when its still running.

just too many type of running engine.

A friend told me today about a break in procedure by Drake. Apparently running the engine for 5 tanks straight, trying to not let it stall. He would vary the temp from 120 F up to 200 F by tuning the needles. I'm not sure though as I didn't read about it.
