Im not familiar, how many of you played GT3? When you get a car you change the oil alot and drive it hard, the car will raise its power. Ex; 160hp....If i drive it hard and change the oil on time the car will perform better and faster. So ill have like 167hp. Is that true? Cause my bro his mustang can rape the new 2000 GT's and his is a stock old 98 GT with less horse power. I belive that he broke his in very good, where he "trained" the car. How do we train our Ep's? I wana make my one fast stock.

thanks :D

Well.. I have heard people state that ECUs adapt to your driving style. I don't know if I personally buy that though. I'd buy them adapting to gas a helluva lot more. Either way, changing your oil at reasonable intervals is a very good thing.

Factory specs say 600 miles or less is the break in period or 1000 miles or less in my book.

I have been revving it hard since 600 miles. :D
