I've actually read up on this a little bit recently and there are big arguments on "Do I go slow and easy or pedal to the metal?". After reading up on it and reading stories from both sides, the thing I am going to do is first off not rev too high for the first 500 miles and not drive at a constant speed too long. Then in a certain gear start at like 2K rpms and do a few 70% throttle pulls to around 5K and let the engine decelerate while in gear back to 2K.
AS I HAVE READ, this should be done almost immediately and helps seat the piston rings correctly, regardless of what the engine is in. Thats just my .02 and I am in no way a mechanic but my father was and agreed on this.
