It's not about the tune as much as how hard you run them. Nice smooth pulls down the street or in a parking lot seem to help them free up while not straining them too hard...After that I can take them to the first race and with a slightly rich race tune finish the day with a perfectly broken in engine...after the first race it's perfect....
i usually put about 6-10 tanks on my novas before i hit the track. i usually put 3-4 on it during practice, driving it easy, no hard accelerations or full throttle pulls. then i race it at 90% of a race tune the rest of the day. Did this with my P5XLT and it took almost 2 gallons to fully break in, internals look wonderful thanks to the Cold Fusion Fuel i've been running
