No not really. While I personally do not live in fear of high RPMs during break in, what I am talking about really doesn't have much to do or need high RPM.

By high load I mean full throttle in third gear from about 2500-4500/5000RPM. Never Bog a new motor, but essentially lots of full throttle pulls through the meat of the powerband then letting it coast back down from 4-5K RPM to 2K RPM.

There's no need for high RPMs, you just want to subject the rings to good heavy loads early. The coasting back down is beneficial as well.
