Get it to stay stable at 220. Let it cool down to about a 100 fire it back up toss it on the ground and run a tank through it at 1/4 throttle. Let cool, and fire it back up run a tank through it at 1/2 throttle. On the fourth tank, toss it on the ground and start going 3/4 to full throttle in short burst. You may have to lean your HSN some to keep it from dying. After this tank you will notice you have eliminated almost all the pinch and have tons of compression. Then take it to the track and start putting a tune on it. Buy the 6th or 7th tank about a half gallon it should almost be there and ready for a full race tune. Full race tune depending on weather and climate should be anywhere between 240 and 270......

yeah i did pretty much that for break in basically. other than the plug out and spin it. Break in was very easy and good. I haven't ran nitro in a while now because rain so i can't tune it but im running it a little fat because the track im at i dont need all the power.
