That is a GREAT article! Not many are bold enough to actually come out and say it.
The #1 point that I think that he made was NO SYNTHETIC OIL!!! Can't stress that enough!
We break in all of our race motors at around 4,500RPM from the time that they fire. They stay that way for about a minute with slight variations in rpm of about 1,000 rpm. Shut them down, let them hot soak and drain for 30 minutes. Change the oil and cut the filter open to see what kind of metal we are getting or hopefully NOT getting.
With fresh oil we let them idle for a few minutes and load them with the stall converter to about 4,000RPM several times. Go to neutral and throttle them to 5,000 or so. Once everyhting has settled, they go to the track and WOT to 8,200-8,500RPM 1/4 mile passes and live that way. No issues so far and no burn or scoring of any kind.
The same theory applies to these engines just the numbers are different. Try not to hold a steady speed for more than five or ten miles for the first 50-100 miles, change it by 10mph or so at different throttle ranges. Harsh downshifts are not a good idea though.
Heavy throttle launches aren't a bad thing at all, just don't push it to it's max for the first 50 miles or so. Chromoly rings will take a little longer to do everything listed, but not to much.
Save the synthetic until after the first 300 miles or so...
