I have no idea of the break in period. I just got a 2000 perf red Gt with a 5 spd myself. I didnt take it pass 3500 rpms for about 1500 miles. That took great restraint on my part. I now have 2400 and havent had any problems except one strange shifter problem where she wouldnt come out of reverse. Later that evening I went out and she popped right out and hasnt gave me a problem since.
