TC508K>>>I just got my 2ss LS3 the other day also. Has about 150 miles on it now, most of which are "easy" driving but about twice a day (before/after) work ill find a nice lonely stretch of highway and get a nice slow roll 15-20 mph and drop down to 2nd gear and give it hell. When you shift to 3rd (5500-6000rpm) you'll be very close to 80mph, take it up to 90mph. At that point I let the engine wind itself down. This is how I've been doing things for about 3 days now. Not sure if this is the cookie cutter method but everyday the car feels more responsive and powerful.

Darin>>>If i'm doing something incorrectly or dangering my engine in anyway please let me know! Thanks for the great write-up and any further help!
