Yup...best I could. went over the 4k & 80mph a couple times but was pretty easy & went by quick like. I certainly didn't red line / wot it till after the 1500 as recommended.

I've heard both sides of the coin & just slept better doing what GM asked me to do...it went by fast & actually enjoyed the break in. Those who want to poke fun for me wasting my time doing it per gm spec can gloat about the wasted time / perceived misguided advice or whatever it is their self break in knowledge is all they want. This whole self thought process of superior break in knowledge / lack of needing to follow break in is misguided & not helpful to new buyers who should take note of GM's suggestions.

I did what gm recommended and if anyone wants to to project any sort of insulting wasted time/ action of following the mfg's suggestion of how to drive for the first 1500 miles of a car they don't own, or have any vested interest in...well, you are just a troll attempting to force your self perceived knowledge where it could actually harm someone & you have no stroke to back up up your bs. To say an Lt4 could not blow at wot before 1500 & suggest doing so is arrogant & brazen without any actual names and contact from GM to note that warrantee will be covered. Don't do that unless unless you know the brass who will cover your ass.

Again, Not likely an engine will blow with wot before 1500, but it is still arrogant to tell new buyers to disregard anything in a GM break in procedure in writing...I can promise you anyone telling you to do so will not pony up for your claim when you blow the motor WOT leaving the dealer.

This topic is stupid as these engines are made to to take it, but crap happens & to offer ignoring the advice of the OEM break in is gonna hurt a person's wallet some day...will be rare, but why go out of the way to see it happen??
