New M2C, best plan on breaking her in?

Strictly to break in the car

Rules to follow before 1200 miles: let car warm up 5 min, keep under 5k rpm, change speeds, Possibly taking some secondary roads instead of all highway

I do have a interstate near with a extreme incline for about 2 miles, as I go up maybe higher rpm's to stress the engine for that section?

Don't stress it so much. Just don't gun it until the engines warm and you'll be fine.

I kept it under 5500 but did wot a bunch of times, no long periods of continuously the same rpm and I always wait for it to be warmed up before I gass it.

wonder if I'll have any problems.
