It keeps getting better

I passed the 10,000 mile mark, and the car keeps running stronger, more low end grunt, and smoother. Problem is, the back tires are getting left behind on the road, slowly but surely!

Anybody else think the car gets stronger towards 10k? Better yet, does anybody have proof from a dyno?

I'm at 4,6xx and it doesn't feel like it's getting any stronger, but I don't think I could feel it since it would occur so gradually. The only thing that causes it to feel noticeably different is weather changes. Cold weather makes this car really fast.

I ask this because my SM and kart race motors make full power within 3-4 hours of running them in...
