Slip the clutch a bit at low speeds.
Take it easy on the brakes.
Drive it like its meant to be driven. Dont baby it!!!
There have been a few advances in machining over the years the rings wear within the first 20miles not 500, 1k, 2k etc.
Take it to redline let off the gas until you reach a stop do this about 4 times. Drive like you would if it had 20k miles, for the next 500 miles then change the oil. The your done. You can do all this in a weekend. Synthetic every 5k, w/filter.
Done this with:
Ford powerstroke
Dodge cummins (little different break in)
C5 and C6 corvettes
E36, E46 M3
VW 1.8, VR6
Honda B18C5
SR20DET
Jeep 4.0L
NEVER HAD A PROBLEM! Majority of these engines have been disassembled and inspected, looking nearly flawless. Some may have other opinions but Ive had a pretty good track record thus far. Dyno numbers to back up these claims also tend to support this procedure, nothing major (5-10hp) increase but a difference.

just take it easy for the first 600 miles, and then you could open her up.
and you don't need to change the oil at 600 miles or even 1k, just change it at 3000 miles.

I drove mine like mad from the first test drive. Hell, I didn't even know if I was going to get if for sure yet... I thought that sales guy was going to puke. LOL! After that I took it easy (somewhat) until 500 miles and have just been driving it normal since. Definately need some mods, though. I almost got pwnd by a Cobalt SS. Hah, and a chck was driving it.
