I was diggin this post and thought I'd share my numbers from a pre-break-in dyno run/tune on a 2015 Breakout with SE 4 kit, Heavy Breather, and V&H 2 into 1.

Elevation: 5300ft






Rounded: 108hp/106ft lbs max

 

What cams do you have? That's with the higher compression ratio and se heads?

 

SE-259E cams, 10.5:1 compression.

 

You guys do realize that a full pass on the dyn o before a break in pretty much make the break in pointless don't you?

 

10 4 tuner, I found that a little odd. No way I'd let them ring it out without seating the rings.

 

The dyno/break-in argument is noted, but I take into account that materials today are not materials (lubricants, metals, compounds) of yesterday (yesteryear?). Even with the early dyno run, good break-in practices are still a good thing. I won't really wring the ol' girl out til the Doc (the shop Tuner) gives his okay (beyond what he's already given me).

 

To all that are curious, A dyno break in is a great way to seat the rings. It's a better controlled environment....Heat up/cool down.. several times on the dyno is the way to go...

 

I'm not trying to turn this into a discussion on the proper way to break an engine in. I'm just saying that if they ran it to 6200 they might as well full tune it. Me personally, After I do a build I do 5 heat cycles, then it goes on the dyno for a quick tune up to 4000 RPM's, then it goes to the customer for some miles then back for a full tune. Other shops do it different and that's fine. My way has worked great for me over the years so I don't plan on changing now, regardless of what new materials are being used. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
