The weather in the Seattle area cooperated, the doors of the shop opened, and my final fears were put to sleep. She idled smoothly at 750 rpm's....
at only 3/4 throttle the rear tires would break loose and the rear end would go what ever way I wanted it to... I fealt no engine hesitation through shifts up to 5,600 rpm. I am waiting for an answer to a possibly stupid question as to , "is there a break in period on the KB", before I WOT. Guess it is time to ask for suggestions on a great looking tire that will handle this KB? Pics Monday.

read the intstructions. On centris, it usually just a 20 min idle period, but roots and ts are totally different. Read the instructions. And CONGRATS!

I've read and reread the instructions but I did not find anything concerning a "break-in period". I will just play it safe for a while....it is still a hell of alot of fun to drive!
