I'm at 4kmi and the kick in acceleration you get at 5-6krpm is starting to become really prominent. Wow. I wonder if this is where our extra power comes from at full break in or if its throughout the power band.

Wait until you pass 5K and the ECU opens it up 100% ;-)

Is this true or just urban myth?

Default AOA's head rep for RS4 repeatedly told my service rep that 5K is the final one in the......

multiple staged programming for the ECU to open up after break-in.

Default I'd rather smile like Tiger banging his smokin' hot wife after winning the Masters.

Check that: I'd just rather be banging her.

Wait, what was the question again?

It's a staged break-in in the ECU and I think 3K might be one of them.
