Darin - First, thanks for your posts. I totally would have broke-in using the OM had I not viewed your posts first. I have 5 miles on my 2SS w/ auto. I'm going to use your method to break in. Just a few questions first:

1) Here in California, we only get 91 octane gas. Do you have any additional recommendations because of this (i.e. should I buy add octane boost for a while?)

2) Just want to clarify - should I not use the manual shift paddles during break-in?

3) About how many acceleration runs do you typically get in the 20-25 mile increments?
