Default Engine Broke in yet?

I followed HPI's book, finished running the 3 tanks of gas through it with out being rough on it at all.
What would you guys recommend doing next. Start playing with the needle settings yet, are wait until my tempature moniter gets here before moving any further.

Basically, 3 tanks through it, how many more left until official breakin?

yeah do another 2 tanks
dont go more than half thrortle and do a couple laps.
the old spit method is you take some spit on ur finger and put it on
ur cooling head when it bubbles up right away that eans its way to hot but when it bubbles up in about 5 seconds it good

i only did like 3 tanks for break in. idle, 1/4 and 1/2. but i kinda babied it on the 4th so is that ok? like no instant throttle blast, accelerate up to full, stuff like that.
