Dear Fbody friends,
I just picked up my racecar from the shop here in Atlanta, they did a GREAT job and put the whole rear end back together for me with the NEW posi unit that I bought here on the board from LS1RAFTRACER. They suggested that I give the rear end 200 miles to 'break in the new bearings' and seals. So.. My car is NOT street legal, i'm curious HOW DO I DO THAT? Seriously, I asked these guys at the shop and they said it needed AT A MINIMUM 2 HEAT CYCLES to completely get the break in period. So, do I run the next 2 events in Atlanta Solo2 at 'street pace'? OR drive around the neighborhood 200 times? do you have any other ideas? OR do you think they are being silly. I am worried about the gears seating properly so I guess I'm listening to the guys that know. What do you guys in the know think? Brian |

Go rent a dyno for an hour.. Run it at 60mph for 15-20 mins, then let it cool down and then run it at 80 or so MPH for another 15-20 mins, let it cool down and you should be fine.. Basically what I did with mine, but I was on a freeway for a total of probably 100miles, then I let loose and beat the bag out of it.. Still in great shape! But now the motor is blown (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
