It depends in what stage of the brake in process the car is. In the very beginning high revs are idd not appropriate, but near the end you must rev the engine high (of course when the oil temperature is risen to a normal level, since it's out of the question revving high when the engine is still cold)


edit: don't mind my post. Nurburn already posted his message when I was writing mine.

Apparently, manufacturers put the engines of cars like these on a dyno to run them in, before the customer gets it.

After all, a CGT will get say 1000-1500miles on it in a year, and if half of them are spent running it in, it's 12 months before you can let rip

Just a rumour
