How you break in a new performance engine requires just good judgement on the drivers part. For starters I would not be Hammering it all day long a 500 miles.

I would ask your engine builder. Also I would wait for at least 1000 before I do WOT all day long. A few WOT blasts is ok but I would not get carried away.
