VTEC after break in

I also just got past 600 miles last night

Just wondering should I slowly edge towards 9000 rpm over the next few days or is it ok to go straight from shifting at 5800 during breakin right towards 9000??? Now I have been just slowly inching towards it. Im shifting now around 7000. Its killin me not to let her rip. What are yall two cents????

i'd say your ready to let her rip. v-tecing uses oil, check it EVERY TIME you fill up!

I have 140 miles on my new '03 and I've reach 7K RPM twice already X''O... I'm the calmest, self-restraint person but I have no self control with this car!

Man, ITS JUST A CAR!!!!!! These threads about inching up to 9k and worrying about "break ins" kill me. Step on it and quit worrying.....

There are so many opinions about break-in methods, but there is no proof that I have seen on this board that supports any being better than the other. I drove my car very aggressively below VTEC until I hit 600 miles, then let the beast loose. I have VTEC'ed my car so much since then.
