new cam installed, when can I run it?
I just put my new CC230/236 cam in tonight, it has 10 miles on it now. I heard that since LS1's have roller cams they dont need a true 'break in'. The valvesprigns are used and already been through a heatcycle. Would it be safe to run my car tomorrow at the local Test n Tune, or should I put some miles on it and change the oil first?

By "heat cycle" do you guys mean....
1. Turn on the car, wait until motor reaches operating temp., turn off car & let it cool down completely = 1 heat cycle or.....
2. Turn on the car, drive it around the block until it reaches operating temp., drive home, turn the car off & let it cool down completely = 1 heat cycle......
