Taking Demon in for hood insert, planing to install crate stuff, can the race PCM be installed without 500 miles on the car? I have 208 miles.

Hey,
let the dealer install ALL the crate items.
that way all pieces are warrantied for any reason.
Yes 500 mi to use the transbrake etc. but the manual ACTUALLY instructs you to not race until 1500 miles.
I truly do not know of anyone who adhered to that policy.

get that car broke in man! we got some running to do

Bee,

Will the Dealer install the race PCM with less than 500 miles on the car?

Cole,

I believe they will not install the PCM with under 500 miles on it. Just like your drag mode features must have the 500 first.

The Manual say not to TRACK the car until 1500 miles. I read that to be a road course or similar. A drag Strip is a STRIP. A short duration course. So I raced my car at 500 miles. I think it hit 500 miles on the way to the track :) Just to be sure I raced 1/8th mile :) :)

FYI- dropped the Demon off with 502 miles, dealer installed all the race stuff (for a fee), now to deal with the summer tire fiasco. I think the rear street tires (Michelin Pilots, 345/30/20) got flat spots for sitting in the same place for too long. This is my fault, just had tires in the past that never had this problem. Phasthemi, recommending doing a burnout to get rid of the flat spots, a nasty burn out was partially effective at greatly reducing the vibration that occurs around 70 MPH.
