What cams do you have? That's with the higher compression ratio and se heads?
10 4 tuner, I found that a little odd. No way I'd let them ring it out without seating the rings.
The dyno/break-in argument is noted, but I take into account that materials today are not materials (lubricants, metals, compounds) of yesterday (yesteryear?). Even with the early dyno run, good break-in practices are still a good thing. I won't really wring the ol' girl out til the Doc (the shop Tuner) gives his okay (beyond what he's already given me).
To all that are curious, A dyno break in is a great way to seat the rings. It's a better controlled environment....Heat up/cool down.. several times on the dyno is the way to go...
I'm not trying to turn this into a discussion on the proper way to break an engine in. I'm just saying that if they ran it to 6200 they might as well full tune it. Me personally, After I do a build I do 5 heat cycles, then it goes on the dyno for a quick tune up to 4000 RPM's, then it goes to the customer for some miles then back for a full tune. Other shops do it different and that's fine. My way has worked great for me over the years so I don't plan on changing now, regardless of what new materials are being used. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
