Dont beat on it... Drive like a normal person, not a racecar drive... I avoided downshifting...
Doesn't it call out for a 1,000 mile break in or something, I dont know, I cant remember.

SPEC actually states on a piece of paper in the package that it takes 500 miles of city driving to break in fully.
Just baby it during that time and you will have no problems.

500 miles of city driving (NOT highway!) were you do not go WOT.

I thought that the break-in period was only as long as it took you to get it installed?

You know what's even cooler... revving your engine at them and looking like you're gonna race em... then driving off like an old granny.
Make em feel like a d**k!

That's dumb. I was with a buddy of mine in his modded 95 Firehawk. Side by side with a C4 Vette that the kid borrowed from his Dad. The nerd thought he was tough, so he revved his engine, not knowing what was about to be unleashed on him. Green light, and he turns right. What a tool.
