Default Converter Break-in?

I am hoping to install my Yank TT3000 when I go home for Easter and there is a race at the local track that friday night. If I get it put in Thurs night or early friday, is there any hope of me racing that night without hurting anything?

Yank says to put 150 miles on the converter before any hard launches or stalling it up.I wouldn't take a chance and run it unless I had it broke in first.Damn thing cost to much <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Get it installed thursday night then go for a loooong drive <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I see 12's in your future <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

I doubt I will have my ET streets by then so I wont be able to get full effect of the converter anyway. I dont have good luck with traction there as it is so I may not worry about it anyway. Then again, I may see if I can smoke um the whole 1/8 with the converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I just didn't know if there was a breakin on the converter. 150 miles isn't that bad.

And guess what... the Yokos haven't gotten any better about hookin'. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> So I am sure I am going to have some fun once the yank gets broke in. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
