Do I get up to 5000 rpm's in second, push in the clutch and coast to a stop? (not allowing the engine to slow the car down)
If I'm not using the engine to slow me down, why don't I just use the brakes to stop?

I did not see that part in the Mototunes web site. I apologize and will state very clearly that you should never engine brake. I don't know if he is seeing something different with his motorcycles but I will tell everyone not to engine brake. Ever.
Accelerate from a rolling start about 5-10 miles an hour and accelerate through the gear to as fast as you want to go, say the speed limit perhaps. LOL Put car in neutral and slow down then do it again and again and again. Just load the engine. Its thats simple. make acceleration runs and load the engine.
I am at 1500 miles and engine brake all the time into corners now that I am broke in and have my first oil change. Just dont do it for a couple hundred miles. After 200-250 miles your broke in, do what ever you want.
