Re: [ST] Engine Break In



I wouldn't say I had time and I did it accurately.  It sounded kinda high
and a very quick glance down (I wasn't studying it).  Based on that
unscientific, very quick glance (maybe even a peripherial vision glance) I
knew I was RED about 10,000ish.  I always thought that a rev limiter
kicked-in very close to the RED so one wouldn't enter it.  I guess I was
wrong, but I don't want to try it again to see if it kicks in at 10,500ish.

thanks for the info.
