At what mileage are ZL1's really broken in???
Just wondering what you guys think the mileage is for the ZL1's to be truly broken in...I haven't made it to 9k yet and have basic mods on mine, but it seems to be getting faster and faster...The previous owner must have driven it like a horse and carriage...It was tuned on a day when the heat index was 114 degrees and I realize that cooler air makes more HP, but it continues to perform better as the mileage increases...The only other change was the brand of fuel, using Shell V-Power 93 oct...

I'd say @ 1500 miles max. My car had it's 1st full build with 7k miles (previous owner) then a TT system at 12k miles, now that same TT system and a built LSA motor @ 15k miles and currently the car has 21k on it. I think we let the LME motor heat cycle 5 times, changed the oil and hit the rollers.

1500 at the most. Personally, I think the whole break-in thing is a bit over blown. Not sure how much more broken-in it can get beyond 1500 much less 9000 mile

10k miles and 5 sets of tires later it's broken it.

Maybe it's the fact that I don't drag or track the car and could be based simply on the seat of the pants adrenaline rush, along with the cooler weather...

The cooler weather is definitely a factor. My car feels quicker and pulls a little harder with the cool temps.

And less traction
I'm still stock and on stock F1s and I took it out in a 50-60 degree Sunday last week and could blow the tires off on all surfaces in 1st, 2nd, and a prolonged chirp on WOT shifts to 3rd. Let's just say I left TC on that day... |
