I agree on the clutch, a definite wear item. I was referring to the clutches (wrong term?) in the eLSD.

Arbitrary RPM limits never made much technical sense to me other than not bouncing it off the rev limiter. However constant RPM and low throttle load is definitely not ideal for the first 500 or so.

I went all the way to 1400 miles last summer without going over 4,000 RPM before having to put the car away !!!

I can't wait to get it over 4,000 RPM as soon as it comes out of storage.

It's between you and Gondi for the most will power of a person.

Thanks or all the reply's!

Interesting the conflicting information in Chevy's own documentation. Owners manual vs track prep guide. I hope I'm OK, I did maybe 60 seconds total at full throttle in the first 900mi. Exceeded the 4K and 80MPH half a dozen times or so.

I’m just pondering how I’m going to “seat the rings” with some 50% and WOT while not exceeding 4000RPM and bedding the brakes on the drive home.. it’s being trailered to PPF / Coating and Tint but then I have a 1hr ish drive all highway to get home :/

Can’t use cruise, can’t maintain a constant speed, have to do approx 75ish brake applications from 100km/h to 50? Ughhhh, Tips welcome haha
