Default Break In Time on new Parts???

Any advice on breaking in my new setup? I'll run down the list of "new" stuff, so you guys can help me hold back on the GO-pedal for a while.

382 Eagle Bottom-Ended stroker, forged pistons, H-Beam rods, ~11.0:1 C.R., Stage II heads, new springs, lifters, valves, and pushrods, Bullett Cam (fairly small, don't remember exact specs now) Holley Aluminum Intake, Centerforce Clutch,and a 9" Rear End with 3.70 gears.

What, out of that, needs the longest break in mileage?

Any other words of advice or warning?

Thanks in advance,
Taco

Drive 2 tanks full through it and change the oil to synthetic and never look back.

Sounds easy enough!

Hey, Toll Tide man!

I'm in Athens, just outside Huntsville!

Thanks for the advice!

Oh yeah, I've known Jimmy for a while now. I used to work at CBI Performance Warehouse. Next time you talk to him, tell him Taco at CBI said "Hey Man".

Thanks again for the help!
