Tac Reading

01blueCobra · 07-09-2001, 12:57 PM

I recently bought a new Cobra (2001). I got on the gas and mistakenly brought the tac upto about 7.5 before shifting. (it came up real fast). Does anyone know if this will cause real problems. My neighbor feels the engine should be broken-in before getting on it, about 1000 miles. I have 650 on it.
Thanks

You should be fine. I had 975 miles on the clock before I hit the track for the first time. As long as you don't keep the RPM's that high on a regular basis while breaking it in you should be okay.
