I found this to a be a good read:
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Basically, he says for the first 200 miles to load the engine (hit it hard) in every gear with short bursts of acceleration and deceleration.

Question: "Why did I buy a new toy if I can't PLAY with it?"

Answer: "Exactly. Hit it." <evil grin>

Break it in like the way you are going to drive it, that is what they told me when I bought my 86 Mustang GT and I have 204000 miles on it with no major problems, evan has the original clutch.

I floored it on the test drive and picked it up the same day.

You don't need to baby it.

Drive it like you stole it !!
