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 |

I usually get some track time and drive 6/10s for three or so sessions, then get up to speed on the last one gradually and heat the thing up. Then pack it in; ready for racin' next event! Having it on the dyno is not the same, we did that with one rear end that grenaded on my first slow lap around the track!
