I agree with all comments...this motor has nowhere near the smoothness of the RB26DETT or the Toyota 2JZ-GTE, but they are both inline sixes and this is a V6 which I think has a lot to do with it.

I am heading towards the last part of my break-in period so I have been letting it wind out little by little. At 5k it starts to make the sort of noise and vibration almost like it's out of balance. I haven't pushed it much further yet.
