Some of us that have no intention of moving on will or have followed the recommended instructions.

Still, in the real world all that matters is doing what you want to do with your car. Believe what you want to but in the end don't belittle and criticize someone else or their video because their perspective or opinion doesn't fall in line with your way of thinking.

The problem with this discussion is that people saying "never go WOT" are NOT following GM's recommendation.

The break in instructions for the LT1 engine are very clear, they say it needs WOT to 4000rpm, the Camaro specific instructions also say "no WOT from a stop" - that does not mean "no WOT at all for 1500 miles".

The people saying to baby the car for the entire first 1500 are the ones not following the GM recommended break in.
