Just don't smoke the clutch. They are a little on the soft side and they will heat up easy and you will smell it so just be carefull. That is probably the best advise I can give you other than break it in correctly. Have fun!

If you equip yourself with a stainless clutch line from Alamo or LancerShop and install it after break-in, you should be good to go as far as clutch longevity goes. Just don't drop it at 7k from a dead stop and you should be fine.

Oh, don't forget to remove the restrictor valve & spring from the solenoid, too. You won't be disappointed.
