Congrats on Finally getting the Fuel Issue fixed. I would say some were around 3-4k miles for a break in time frame. But DMP Built the Motor so I would get with them and see what they recommend.

You know my break in mileage.....drive it like you want it to perform. I had maybe 2 miles on my jlp block before I had the gas pedal all the way to the floor. Same with the truck you bought from me. It had barely 10 miles on it before I beat the crap out of it. That truck beat a lot of other lightnings that had more mods then it had. Pay for my plane ticket over there and I will show you how to break it in.

500 miles probably is more than enough to break it in, when my truck is done and I waited 3,000-4,000 miles break in, it might take me over a year to break in the motor
