I have an engineering background, but not to the extent that would qualify me to know the validity of EITHER method of break-in, hence my resolve to go with the manufacturer's methods.

No worries, I probably didn't read your post correctly myself and took parts of it wrong. Hard to convey thoughts through a simple forum.
You could have a Ph. D in engineering and still not fully realize the validity of either break-in method. That's the truth with everyone. What's important to realize is that it's not just the rings that need to be broken in. You have the bearings (although this is totally different), camshafts, etc. Engineers are great for drawing things, designing complex parts using CAD, etc. However, I don't think the engineers specifically sat down and developed break-in procedures that are directly related to the specific design, materials and manufacturing processes of the 370Z engine. However, I could be wrong.
I only posted what I do as information. I wasn't giving specific detailed guidlines of what I think anyone else should do.
After all...it's just a complex air pump.
