And thrash it occassionally. What I mean by that is make it sound like a connecting rod is going to fly out of the block and hold it for 10-20 seconds like that. It will go back to fun mode then after cool down then cold start. They call that the Italian tuneup. They always run better after a good thrashing.

Making sure the engine is fully warmed up before doing this procedure, of course.
