Hey Venom, Not being the dealer that sold it to u but the dealer that looked at it for u. We found the fault with the engine was do to a transmission filter being put on where the oil filter goes! Starving #1 piston of oil. Glad they stepped up to take care of u

^^ im with him... Do an oil change, upgrade to Mobile 1 synthetic at 1000 miles... break it in for another 2-3k, oil change again... THEN you may "step on that ****"...

Take your time man... The earlier you start stepping, the earlier things will break.. It may be a good idea to let the rpm needle rise to near redline occasionally, but not by free-revving, or hard driving, just running all the way through a gear... just to get the engine broken in properly.

Enjoy your ride...
