Default does a clutch need to be borken in before car goes on dyno

hey guys i recently did some engine work on my transam, so it made more power than the ls6 clutch could hold. I order a monster stage 3 kit but i was wondering do i have to break it in before it goes on the dyno. Im worried cause the car drives like **** and needs to get tuned asap i really dont want to drive it around to break in the clutch without the tune what to do

When I ordered my stage 3 clutch, It was recommended to me by one of the monster clutch employees to do atleast half of the required break in mileage before you put your car on the dyno. And then finish up the other half after the dyno tune.

I tell all my customers 500 miles of stop and go driving alternating RPM as much as possible. You can make a new clutch short lived on a dyno.
