Default Question about post FI / Clutch break in

Ok guys i have a dilema i am going forced induction this weekend with a greddy tt. However i have a utec that needs to go in and will ultimately require tuning. However i was able to get some base maps for the greddy tt kit w/ 440's at stock boost. I also have a brand new twin disk clutch that states that i will also need to break the clutch in for 500 miles w/ no WOT runs. What does everyone do? how can the car be tuned? what should i do? any ideas? Pretty Please.

BTW i don't drive more than 150 miles a week currently.

I would think you would be ok with the dyno runs. I have the Clutchmaster Stage 4 clutch/flywheel. The break in for the clutch was only for hard launches. Roll ons should not hurt the clutch break in.

The spec clutch directions specifically said not to put it into high rev's
otherwise it will void longevity and life of clutch as well as warranty...

So drive it around for 500 miles and then get it tuned just stay out of the tune. My clutch also say to drive it 500 miles, well guess what? We didint and tuned it to 681 hp withless than 500 miles. SO I think your fine.

the clutch is a spec twin disk clutch.
so another option is to just drive it around and baby it for 500 miles without getting into boost correct eagle?

That is correct sir, however I really think you'll be fine just getting it tuned.
