Default Break in for textrailia?

Just wondering if the tex clutch is the same break-in process as other clutches. I had heard that the 6 puck from centerforce did not require a break in and was wondering if ours do.
Thanks

Description from Byunspeed's site

"From effortless non shudder bumper to bumper traffic right up to that mid 1.4 second to the sixty foot mark this clutch delivers the goods without the need for a bedding in period which often takes weeks.

That's right! The selected components within the "OZ700™ Series" clutch assembly have been perfectly matched, digitally machined and zero balanced for instant use."

While thats what it says. I believe Textralia would say something like 3 heat cycles?

I know you CAN beat on it from the get go. But it does ":break in" with time, like the chatter diminishing, pedal feel softens a little. I waited 500 miles. Who wants to bomb a 1000 clutch because they couldnt wait a week? lol But maybe Tex will chime in, its a great clutch overall tho.

I did like 300 miles of easy going driving, no hard shifting, no gunning it, etc...

I guess I'll take it easy then, because SaintNJ made a good point, I wouldn't want to bomb a $1k clutch!
