I followed break in rules until 450 miles. That included not going over 4500rpm, lots of engine breaking to get high vacuum to help seat the piston rings, and no more than 1/2 throttle. After 450 miles I floored it every chance I got and have been doing so ever since. Oil changed at 1000 miles, and I am at 12xx miles now.
