I wouldn't say breaking in, I just never in all my cars i've owned like
having to put the peddle to the floor all the time to get solid
acceleration. I drove a buddy of mines ws6 trans am and that had solid
pull. Didn't have to floor it (unless you want to), to still feel that
solid pull. I baby my vehichles for the most part and have them usually
last trouble free for a very long time. I was just looking for something
to seriously enhance the low end power curve of the r/t.
