I just had my king cobra installed on my car today and was wondering the break in period. My cars a daily and I drive about 15min to and from work on the highway just about everyday , now on all my previous 4banger cars I was told dont go on the highway or dog on it for at least a few hundred miles can someone steer me in the right direction.

I just installed my kk also, i went to the track the next day and dropped the clutch at 5 grand on m/t's

it's running good to this day, im starting to only run it on the weekends now, i just work during the week, and dont drive it.

it is recomended to be easy a few hundred miles, so your wear pattern will be even on your flywheel....just because i did this dont mean you should, im not in this for smooth clutch action, i jerk everyone around anyways with my driving style. lol.

I gave my knig cobra about 200 overly easy miles, than I drove it for 300 miles like a sane individual might drive, then I let it all out! I didn't pay any attention to whether or not I took it n the highway.
