I'll be going back to Cincinnati Wednesday to pick my car up from MD. Will the new comp 262's require any kind of break-in period?

When I had my VT Stage 1s installed nobody said anything to me about a "break in" period, doesnt mean that there is one of course.

generally speaking when a new cam is put in (ohv) you start the car and run it around 2k for abotu 5-10 minutes.
I'm sure MD will either have done any that is needed or at the very least inform you of anything. Just ask.

BTW let us know how you like them once you get the car back.
