+1, B5 by far the easiest and fastest breakin, alittle heat cycling, a few slow tanks in the street, a few slow tanks at the track and time to start leaning enough to do all the jumps but takin it easy on the straights, and she is ready to go. I think that alot of people over do their breakins and are afraid to get them hot early, after you run it rich to blow the junk out i think heat is a good thing just not heat combined with stress
