Have you done the accel/decel runs to seat rings? Just keep it a bit fat and slow timing down for break in. Don't set the tune on kill for the first 1k miles. Just make sure it's not lean or oil fouling, aka keep it between the ditches for awhile. Use 93 octane or higher.

Yea I broke it in properly. I am 10 miles away from 5000 miles on this build. I always run 93 despite my question about cheaper gas.
