was just wondering if the car is broken in enough at 600 miles to be able to use the full potential of our 9000 rpm redline?

I starting VTECing it right at 600 miles. However I don't think I took it over 7,000 rpms until about 1000 miles but my understanding is that it is broken it at 600 miles. Have fun with it!

Be sure to check your oil at every fill up because it is more likely to burn oil when you start VTECing!

I took mine to redline a little after I hit 600 miles. The car is fine. The VTEC does get stronger as you get more miles on the car.
