				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 |
