And if he is in fact running a 9.0:1 A/F ratio, he most likely will wash down the cylinder walls in no time.And thats bad..

I slowly eased it into 1-2psi of boost at about 550 miles and it went rich so I just backed off and kept driving normal. Trust me, it's fine.
And, while it sucks, I know that I have infinitely more time to break in the car properly than the shop does. 800-1000 miles is more than enough to do it right. How many miles do you normally run it to do a dyno break in?

Taurran - Congrats, and welcome back. I'm sure it's going to put down some nasty power come Sunday. Please make sure to post up the results.
JT et al engine builders - I "thought" that engine break in, especially considering break in via dyno, was best done over varied power levels and that the slow and easy less than 3k rpm wasn't exactly ideal. This subject has been asked and addressed, but nobody has actually confirmed what engine break in procedures for road and dyno they preferred. Everybody's hinted, but I have yet to see a "here's what I do" post about this. Is this some sort of holy grail secret in engine building? I honestly didn't think so...
EDIT - before anyone starts with the trash talk: YES, I searched and NO there isn't any info on BUILT engine break in by any of the engine builders on this forum.
