ya try comfort... eco will shift like at 1800 rpm every time .... not good to break in at constant rpms or speed....

even in sport if you don't mash the throttle it will shift around 3k

Hi,

I've gotten all my maintenance done through to dealer (with mods) so far and they're fine with it. I do my own oil changes though since it takes me 30 minutes.

I drove my car within the break-in limits until 1200 miles then started modding. Most engines are already broken in from factory, so all the break-in you do is generally more for the transmission, suspension, etc. Just drive the car easy to moderate levels during break in. If you're going to treat it like glass, then it'll break like glass :P.

Cool thank you guys. I have a BMS stage 1 and intake in the garage waiting for the 1200 mile mark. I also think some dealers are cooler than others as far as mods and looking the other way
