Yeah, the race break-in idea is an interesting one. I believe I read somewhere that Mike at Gruppe-S no longer believes in it, after having more then a few bad motors that used the process. I believe Nate told me he believed in race break-in.

Its one of those very controversal topics, and to be honest I don't know where I stand.
