Although this is a very controversial subject... this site make s some sense.


I drove mine like I stole it (Mccain302). Never babied it really. Already I have 15K miles since mid February. Runnign like a champ and seems to get better with the more money that I sink into it. I think the break-in never stops as long as the money keeps flowing.

Oh yeah! Here is the link:
