Any changes after break in period?

Interesting - I've never heard of the dealer/manufacturer re-tuning the ECU after the break-in period.

I now have about 4500 miles on my car. I notice I can bark em going into 3rd. Buttdyno...so.....stuck the gt pro on it...0-60 now is about 4.98 - 5.1 on average apposed to 5.3 - 5.9 when I got the car. 1/4 mile before was 13.8-14 now right around 13.4-13.5. Don't know if it got faster or if I became a better driver....

VQ's are known to get faster/quicker as you pile on the mileage, I have had 5 VQ powered Z's and Maximas total and all of them got quite a bit quicker with mileage!
