    race car, street car, grocery getter, doesn't matter. How many young kids have you seen with new cars and zero miles bouncing the rev lemiter ? I've seen a lot. How many people buy new cars with zero miles and have the head re -torqued ? none. How many race motors are built useing oem gaskets and never get re -torqued or broken in ? plenty. How many times have you heard of a shop telling a customer to bring the car back for a re-torque or to drive it easy for a while ? I bet none.

    If it makes you feel better to drive it easy for a said number of miles then go for it. But in reality you simply don't have to do it...and it will make no difference..
