I know it's not a turbo but how long, (miles), did ya'll wait before you really put the VTEC to the test?

Thanks

The manual saids 600 miles, but I waited till I have over 1,000.

Supposedly 600 miles but I did it at 450.

i broke it in at 1000... and then drove for a little more aggressive for another 500 without having the vtec kick in... after i did all that, then i started to use the SS and always getting the vtec to kick in for my last 500... i know it sounds crazy braking in for 2000 but in the long run it might be good.... all you really need is 1000 to do it and no hard revs.... i just decide to do a little more.....

I punch it going out of the dealer with 11 miles on the car......ooooops

Since then I haven't been able to control my foot, so I punch it everyday.

I waited until 600 miles as per the owners manual. I'll have this car a while so I figured I could wait until the odometer turned, flashed, 600! Better safe than sorry imho :o

I didn't kick it in until I had 700+ miles on the car. I thought it best to wait until the break in period was over...she sure does pull once it's kicked in though!

I've been trying not to floor it.
I have taken the TLS on the highway and cruised at about 2000 rpm (~80 MPH).

In stop and go traffic I'll hit as high as about 3500 - 4000 rpm in auto mode.

I've hit 5000 once in ss mode by accident.

But for the most part I've taken it easy.

I do hear a quiet whining sound - I think it is coming from the tranny but I suspect that that is normal.

Any thoughts ?
