Darin,

Please give a detailed description of how you would break-in the LS3. I know it's probably simple, but I'm having trouble understanding. This is a quote directly from mototuneusa.com: "Remember that both hard acceleration and hard engine braking (deceleration) are equally important during the break in process."

Do I get up to 5000 rpm's in second, push in the clutch and coast to a stop? (not allowing the engine to slow the car down)

If I'm not using the engine to slow me down, why don't I just use the brakes to stop?
