i put a new 3rd member (gears, posi, bearings, the whole works) in my truck and it only has about 100 miles on it. how long should i wait before hitting the track?

You have waited too long!! 100 miles is plenty. Hit it!! I hit the track in my 66 Chevelle with new 12 bolt with less miles than that on it.

i figured i might have to wait until after the initial oil change (300-500 miles, something like that)
the next street legal drags isnt for a few weeks
