Message	There are two schools of thought on this, I believe that moderate boost (and cylinder pressure) helps to seat the rings in a fresh build better than babying it for 500 miles. I run 20 min high idle to establish cam wear pattern, then drive the car for 30-40 minutes at varying engine speed and load. I don't wring its neck at WOT though. Shut it down, let it cool, retorque the heads if required and change the oil/filter.
