This is what I did... ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS!

I'll also be ******* the ever living crap out of the motor once its warmed up. Not redline necessarily, but generous throttle.

I got my LS off the dealer lot a with 7 miles, so it probably only got there within the past day or so..

Mine's a lease too...but I'm at right above 600 now, and finally beat it up the other day. Not bad, but I got on it good. I always use 93 too. That helps alot.
