Proper planning

Don't blow her doing a high speed commercial trip too soon!

Something like no more than 5300 RPM for the first two hours, except 1 minute of WOT every 10 mins. This is to seat the rings. After that good to go.

However, dealer said no break in and have at it. We did the above (or at least I told them to!).
