I say go get your wood and don't worry about the break-in period.
I personally don't believe in doing anything different during the first
miles of a vehicle.
Drive it now like you will drive it all the time. Regular maintanance is
the key to engine longevity.
I have 17,000 trouble free miles on my R/T now. When I got in it for the
1st time w/1.5 mi. on the odometer, I nailed the throttle.
I started 1/4 mile racing it at 2,500 mi. only because I couldn't make
time for the track sooner.
Go for it, don't let that kind of oppotunity slip away. Alan S.
